Question Rear rotors cost twice as much as the front rotors?

2016 1ss owner finding rear rotors for stock brake.
About to change the rear brake pads.
Mechnician sugguests me replace the rear rotors as well.

Well then,
Front rotors each for: $92.79 on rockauto:
https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/gm...264,rotor,1896
And $79.25 on amazon

Rear rotors each for: $152.79 on rockauto:
https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/gm...233,rotor,1896

This is crazy since front are a lot bigger than the rear one.

I think I would choose aftermarket rear rotors in this case.
Any recommendations? Thanks

Check eBay and Amazon. I just bought front rotors for a ZL1 on Amazon for $322 apiece, rears on eBay for $120 apiece.

The rears are more complex because they have an internal "drum" for the parking brake.
How many miles on your car? You should not need rear rotors unless you've been tracking the car. If they're scored lightly you should be able to turn them.

Oh Thanks! Now I see why.
I got close to 80000 mile now. And I never track.
I do feel they are noticibly thinner than the edge when touching.
But what is considered scored lightly? Thanks again

You get what you pay for, if the OEM lasted 80k , got money's worth . That in it self is worth the 152.79 for another 80k . MO
