GEN 2 Replacing rear brakes...do I need to do the fronts also?

[Ski4Ever]

I recently got a vehicle inspection and my rear brake pads are out of spec. I've got 55K miles on my 2019, and the brakes are OEM. I just bought a full set of front and rear PowerStop Z36 brakes (pads and rotors) the other day because there was a good rebate on them, but I'm wondering if I should hold off on doing the fronts until later, as I don't think they need to be done now. Or would it be best just to do the fronts now anyway, just to have a 'matching set' on all 4 corners?

Do it all at the same time!

Sounds good...but out of curiosity, what's the reasoning? Not saying I don't like/trust the idea, but just wanting to know. Thanks!

I run the R1 Rotors and their pads. Once you get all the tools out and you have everything there it’s a once and done for the change out of Rotors and pads. The only reason not to do it would be saving a few bucks and running the front rotors and pads a little longer. Or you are time compressed and don’t have the time to do it all at one time. But it’s completely up to you.

Won’t hurt to wait. Won’t hurt to do it now either.

I do rears every other time I do the front

My fronts are still original and in good shape. The rears wore out first, which is pretty normal from what I’ve read. If anything I could do the fronts every other time I do the rears.
