Doing the rear upgrade to GXP brakes not sure if the rotors are right they look weird anyone got a pic of a 2005 GXP rotor ? I can't post pics of what I got right now

Thanks
 


left is a front, right is a rear, its a stock rear but its also solid. maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch thick or so.

Like scottie said, it sounds like they're a solid rotor instead of finned. Also, they make flat or tapered hats. Either way will be just fine, usually its personal preference on what's used.
 


No they are finned scotty you won't have a pic of the front side would ya? looking at the one to the right in the back they may be right
 
damn scotty if those rears were finned it would look like mine, I don't get it the originals oems on my 97 look like the have more surface area, so how are the gxp's better except for the fins of course and thanks
 
Here is a rear gxp uprade pic. The rotor is vented not solid..sorry I was painting.the rotor hat and edges

Pad area is largely unimportant with disc brakes, its about leverage and cooling. Keep in mind drums have way more pad area. Look at 88-96 gps brakes compared to 97+. 97+ have smaller pads
