Why would you need to replace the rear rotors, it's the fronts that go bad. The rears are a third of the braking power, takes a long time to wear pads in the rear, let alone warp or scar the rotors.
My rears burnt up waaaaay faster than my fronts, my fronts have lasted over 40k miles and aren't even half way worn. The rear calipers tend to freeze up and burn the rear brakes up, so go get some new calipers. You'll also need the tool to turn and press the piston in.

You have to remove the bracket that holds the caliper on too. Remember to take some high temp grease to the sliding pins everytime you disassemble the caliper from the bracket as well.

I need to replace them cuz they are bad... dont act like YOU KNOW FOOL!
they got oober groves in them that you can feel
When I got the car and I was a n00b I got all the calipers and pads and front rotors done.... idk why not the rears?
If you are obsessive like me, you might as well tape the rotors off and paint them silver/gray with some high temp bbq grill paint so they won't rust and look ugly.
