Cool 993 Big Red/rotor newbie question

Hi

I just purchased a 1997 993 Coupe (no S or Turbo was in the budget... only in my dreams) and I had a couple of questions

The PPI mentioned that the rotors needed to be resurfaced... looking at them, I doubt having them turned is worth the effort, so I need to get new ones. Since this is my first Porsche I'm not all that familiar with the details - the previous owner had Big Reds installed, so would he have had to swap out the standard rotors? Do I need the much more expensive Turbo/RS rotors or just the slightly too expensive stock rotors? Any way to tell which size these are? Maybe a pn on the hub or wherever?

One other thing - the rear caliper seems bigger than the front - it's not much bigger- maybe I'm imagining things.... Are big Reds the same size on all four corners? Shouldn't the fronts be bigger than the backs, if there is a difference? Any expert help for a newbie would be great!

TIA
Pak
