Brakes

Hello all,
I had my tires rotated today, while the wheels were off I checked the brake pads front and rear. The front pads look great at least 1/4" to 3/8" thick.
However the rear pads are down, the driver side rear looks like 3-4 mm and the passenger side rear looks like about 3mm.
My question is can I replace just the rear pads and leave the front alone? or should I do all 4 wheels?

Thanks
Danny

You can do just the rears. Mind the minimum thickness of the rotor.

Thanks Tabijan, I was hoping that would be the case. Should save some on the brake job.
