Default Caliper question

Quick yet stupid question. I am getting ready to change all 4 rotors. I know the front caliper bolts are not reusable but are the rears the same? If so, I am four bolts short. If not, I am good to go with the four I have.

I would change them out.....doesn't mean you can't do the rotors now..just change out the bolts when you can. The calipers won't fall off.

I definitely am changing the front bolts. The only reason I ask about the rears is that I ordered a kit with everything and only received four new caliper bolts. Wasn't sure if I needed to order four more for the rears.

Gator, the rear use the same bolts so yea it's better to replace them too like Pete said. Maybe the kit you got is per axle.
