Just got off the phone with Rick @ Suncoast.

The base 986 & 987 share the same brake rotor size for the front and that's why the 987 rotors fit on the 986 set up.

The rear base 986 & 987 e-brake set up difference thus not allowing the 987 rotors to fit on a 986.

He said you could match up rear Zimmerman cross drilled rotors with the front OEM cross drilled rotors. He said the only difference he has noticed(from his own experience) is that the Zimmermans don't last as long.
