Actually, most of the aftermarket rotor applications I've seen are indeed the same size. Essentially, they've just simply taken a rotor blank and drilled it.

Nonetheless, I'll say this about cross-drilled rotors...they look cool!
Nope. They are 1-2 inches larger and don't require any other upgrades. I have some on my car and the only other mod I did was to add better/newer pads. Everything fits.

Now there are some rotors out there that are massive and do require complete stystem upgrades like Bear and Brembro performance packages, but those rotors are somewhere in the neighborhood of 17-18 inches in diameter. My aftermarket ones are 1.25inches larger than the stock ones.
