EB (nonPP) rear brake work questions

[Mr981]

2016 base EB manual tranny with 48K miles.
Had the car to the dealer for a routine oil change and during the inspection process, they found the RR pad thickness near the min and told me I needed a rotor and pad replacement which would run $460.
The rears have had some corrosion on the rotor, with the appearance I'm not getting full braking at the rear.
Questions:
What is the min thickness for the rear rotor and rear pads?
What would OEM pads and rotors run?
There isn't much of a lip on the rotor so I wonder if they could be just cleaned up and go with new pads.
Thanks for any help with this.

They are really super easy to do yourself. Watch a few good Youtube videos of you might find you're able to do it yourself. I'd say based on the quote price you stated, 80% of that is labor cost.

Rotors and pads, cost $83-$239 total for both sides depending on pad choice, it’s standard for Dealers/shops to Mark-up parts by 150-200%, labor is something like .9 hrs for both sides. Having them do it gets the work warrantied and documented. As mentioned previously doing the brakes is very easy, I can change all four rotors and the pads in 20 minutes, start to finish.
