[Shotimes] Rear brake pads for the track

[Ian Fisher]

FWIW, I've never had the caliper problems with the
earlier -92 rear rotors than I had with the 93+ setup.
I suspect that the vented rear rotors and slightly
different caliper design disapate heat better as I
have not had any destroyed piston boot seals, frozen
slider pins, frozen pistons,  etc with the earlier
setup on my car. I had a lot of problems with the 93+
style rear brakes.

YMMV
