Rear rotor thickness- change?

Wouldn't. still within spec. should last a while considering rear braking only account to roughly 25% of stopping. unless your pads gets worn enough that itll eat the rotor and/or rotor is warped

Are you planning to resurface them as part of the brake job. Some people over look this step on the rears if they are still fairly smooth. If they are still smooth they should be fine but if you resurface it may take them down below 15mm.

Yours still have some life left so don't junk them unless they're warped. Put on a new set of pads & if it brakes smooth without any pulsations then you won't even need to turn them.

What composition of pads did you get?

This time ordered some Centric Posi-Quiet's to try. Put those on the Corolla and they have a much nicer feel than the factory pads. They dust far less as well. If these don't work as expected the factory pads will go on. In similar thought, the Toyota pads are gentle on the rotors so they strike a middle ground for decent stopping and low parts wear. At a few ticks over 200K, these are the original rotors from '97. No complaints from me on brake parts longevity.

I had to replace mine. I took it to Orielly Auto and they said they're not servicable due to being so thin.
I bought some Napa Premium ones that are pretty high quality though.

The rears I removed with 45-50k miles on them and they still had about 50% life left. I only replaced because I was doing rear rotors, so I always replace pads regardless.
