Replacing rear rotors and pads

I went to the dealer to get my abs and esp light checked out and they fixed it and told me my front pads and rotors needed to be done and rear pads alone. I did the front pads and rotors using dealer parts( i should have upgraded to cross drilled rotors)...I really needed them so i just put on the factory ones...now i want to do the back brakes i have the dealer pads but should i do the rotors too? if so, im thinking about upgrading them to cross drilled, will this cause problems?

If you didn't do cross drilled on the front, I would not bother with the back...

I don't think it would cause any issues if you did... but would just look odd and not give you any advantages anyway.

"i should have upgraded to cross drilled rotors" Cross drilled rotors are not an "upgrade".

Use flat rotors front and rear.
