Any light hand sanding of the rotor required during the swaps? I'd like to avoid buying rear pads for just a few track days if possible.
I would do both. By only doing the fronts you would create a braking force inbalance which could be dangerous. Plus you would be burning up your stock rear pads very quickly.
