Update/rant:
I went ahead and ordered a full set of OEM pads and rear rotors - or so I thought.
Waited 1.5 weeks for parts to arrive only to find I had received front rotors. Yup, I ordered front ones by accident. In my defense, the site had suggested these when I added the rear pads and the image looked (and still does) like solid discs, not vented like the fronts are. In addition, despite ordering the the proper kit, I got rear pads with no clips.
They were good enough to issue me a return label for the front rotors (I picked up shipping on the rears - not cheap) and they sent me a new set of pads. Except I received front pads.
Forget it. I'll just keep them and clean and reuse my rear pad clips.
Fast forward a couple more weeks and the rear rotors finally arrive. I go to put them on on Tuesday night and (long story) I cross-thread a bolt into a slide pin.
Ugh.
Yesterday morning I call the dealership and order all 4 rear caliper bolts (the gunked threads are partly to blame for the cross-threading) and new rear, lower, slide pin. They came in this morning. I go to pick them up and guy had ordered the front ones. HOW?! I read him the freakin' part numbers over the phone. GRRR.
So hopefully tomorrow I'll get the proper parts and get the stupid car down from the lift after nearly a month.
