you can do just the front. The rear is just for e-brake.
I suggest oem blanks from Auto Zone or Napa.
You should change the pads too while everything is off.

I would do this; get the rotors (Possibly machine them, because they won't be exactly right; but I'm sure you won't have a problem if you don't machine them), then get some synthetic grease, and some new brake pads.

Be sure to grease everything from your slide pins, craddle, back of pads, and caliper puck(s). This will help with any vibration and/or noise. ACDelco makes a brake grease that works very well and we use in our shop.

When replacing the rotors, you will want to replace the pads as well, because most of the time, the pads may be warn unevenly, and will cause problems with your braking system working to its full potential. Hope this helps.
