Good thread. If i could offer some input on recent experience i would add

Get the wear sensor from amazon or rockauto.com - cost is 1/3 to 1/2 dealership cost.
Easy way to get the rear rotors off is jack up car on one side, remove tire/wheel and the rotor set screw. slightly loosen bolts for caliper retension bracket, start car and put in gear with foot on the brake. Let off brake slightly. This will cause the rotor to spin on the hub loosening all the rust that keeps it in place. Shut off car and remove caliper and caliper bracket. Rotor should come right off.
