Quick question

I am in the need to replace my front rotors and front and rear brakes. What I am wondering is should I go ahead and replace the rear rotors also or is there no need???

Please respond

Not unless they are worn. Most likely all you'd need to do is turn the rotors and replace the pads for the rear. Unless you are wanting to get aftermarket rotors for the rear (slotted/cross drilled).

Just depends on what you're going for. Are the rear rotors worn out, have they ever been turned, are they warped? If not, they most likely do not need to be replaced. Though, rear slotted will match up with the front slotted, but not entirely necessary.

I have read that if the rotors are warped they will warp the pads

If the rotors are warped, the pads will need to be replaced, and either the rotors will need to be turned if possible, or replaced.

That's scary. Brakes are not something to hope you don't f*ck up. They're pretty easy but if you do f*ck them up you'll be f*cking yourself up more when you crash.
