Default Rotor and pad sizing

Can anyone tell me if the Touring rotor and pad sizes are the same for all trim levels of the Touring? I think there are 3 trim levels of Touring. I have a 2009 GL Sport (Canada). I am finding it difficult to find when searching suppliers.

As a bonus to me, if you know the rotor diameter for GL Sport front and rear that would be awesome.

They should all be the same. The brakes did not change by trim level.

2009 Touring:

Front brake (Disc):
- Type = Floating type with ventilated disc
- Disc O.D. = 280 mm (11.02 in)
- Disc I.D. = 172 mm (6.77 in)
- Disc thickness = 26 mm (1.02 in)
- Pad thickness = 11 mm (0.43 in)
- Cylinder type = Single piston
- Cylinder I.D. = Ø57.15 mm (2.25 in)

Rear brake (Disc):
- Type = Floating type with solid disc
- Disc O.D. = 262 mm (10.31 in)
- Disc I.D. = 185 mm (7.28 in)
- Disc thickness = 10 mm (0.39 in)
- Pad thickness = 10 mm (0.39 in)
- Cylinder type = Single piston
- Cylinder I.D. = Ø31.0 mm (1.22 in)

Thank you! I pulled the calipers off today to check the remaining pad thickness and do a visual of the rotors. The problem I encountered was in trying to remove the rear caliper bracket. Access to the lower rear caliper bracket bolt is impeded by a lower control arm (not sure of the correct name here). It really appears that the outer end of this lower control arm must be removed in order to remove the rear lower caliper bracket bolt.

Can anyone confirm this is required? Of course, as with most rotors, you cannot remove the rear rotor without first removing the caliper bracket.

Wow, here's the answer from the service manual. Is nothing in this world easy?! I thought it was a lower arm but here you go;

4.Remove the rear upper arm (A).
