Are the rear rotors different for RWD vs AWD? Autozone vs Advanced
I searched for this a bit because I saw someone online that bought some rotors, but that they didn't fit his AWD.
After searching I think the rotors are only different from front to rear, but that the rears are the same whether AWD or RWD.
I have a 2010 GS350.
Also, although I would prefer something a little more high end, I just started a new job and am in a money pinch. Can anyone recommend something from Advanced Auto or Auto Zone so that I can get this done this weekend? I'll get something better over the summer, but the brake pads wore differently from left to right in the rear so I think I should replace the rotors too, even though I did not feel a lip edge on either side, which is strange to me.
So can someone recommend some pads and rotors from Advanced or Auto Zone just to get me by for a bit for the rear of my car? Thanks!

1) Use advance, if you search around there are substantial coupon codes to drop price. Use the parts picker and specify the type of car. They are responsible for the right parts.
2) Advance store brand rotors are decent. Every shop here uses them. Pads, I would get their premium brand or a name brand (Wagner) comes to mind.

I went with these calipers. They were 167$ when I bought them, but are up to 211$
Then I went to advanced and got these rotors
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...921%7CL2*16462
and these pads
Everything fit perfectly.
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...7CL4*-49999828
But at advanced I signed up with a first time email and got 25% off.
in all I spent just under 300 for calipers, pads and rotors.

Everything fit perfectly. Strangely, it's incredibly difficult to find from calipers for some reason. I spent a minimal amount more to get the red coated ones, and in all my searching I am having a lot of trouble finding the fronts in the red in a similar price range.

haha. I did the same. Got the PowerStop “performance” calipers in powder coated red, really nice. But I can’t find the matching set fit the front. I have given up. My front calipers pers are in perfect condition.
