Not going to be that expensive to fix, fit a pair of rear discs however.

And when changing rear discs you also have to change the wheel bearimgs!
Another thing to look out for is the ABS ring. You can take them off and push into new discs but if you dont feel confidant then I believe you can get the new discs with the ABS ring fitted.

My new rear discs came with rings fitted, and it looked pretty impossible to remove the old ones, without some serious popeye action going on. lol.
