That's correct. Could always go with Coleman for the rears in order to retain the parking break or Todd TCE may have other options.

I'm curious - where do you feel the difference in the rotors' weight? Is it in the response of the brakes, acceleration, or...? Thanks!

Acceleration. Slight, but nonetheless noticeable.

The lighter the car the more such things are noticed. Heavy rotors can also have an effect on steering input given their gyroscopic nature; they don't like to turn from a straight projectory. Power steering overcomes much of that to the driver but for those in a manual car it can be noticeable.
