Rear brakes only do about 15%-20% of the braking so swapping to disc isn't an upgrade performance wise. They will look better than the hideous drums though. The SRT-4 brakes swap on nicely

when and do the rotors need to be replaced as well?

If you are swapping to disc brakes, then yes you will need to use rotors as well.

If you are wanting to do the SRT-4 brake swap, then click on the link....

you should get them resurfaced, but if they spec out too thin, then you have to get new ones. the minimum thickness is stamped on the center of the rotor.
