Default HELP! Brake rotors on 99-2004 mustang

This will be the first time to swap just the rotors front and rear on my mustang and wondering if I am just swaping rotors out , will I have to compress the caliper just to change rotors?? I know I need a special tool for the rear calipers. I know how to take off the caliper , but compressing the piston and decompress the piston back sounds like a pain. Any input is appreciated

You can compress the fronts, yes.
For the rears, you don't 'need' the special tool. You can use needlenose pliers and twist the piston in that way.
