1984-87 front rotors are un-vented and part of the hub.....1988 rotors are vented, separate and the same on all four corners.....

You need the rotor, inner wheel bearing, outer wheel bearing, wheel bearing seal, cotter pin, and grease for the bearings.
-Remove caliper
-Remove dust cap
-Remove cotter pin
-Remove castle nut
-remove washer
-Reinstall castle nut
-Grab both sides of the rotor and pull as hard as you can
-Remove castle nut and inner bearing
-Clean spindle
-Pack new bearings with grease, install inner bearing and seal on rotor
-Apply new grease to spindle, reinstall rotor assembly
-Install outer bearing, washer, and castle nut
-Spin hub while tightening castle nut JUST SLIGHTLY
-Install cotter pin and dust cap

With new front rotors I would try to buy a reputable brand like Raybestos, Bendix or AC Delco. I've had very good luck with the Centric brand as well. For bearings, Nachi, NTN, or Timken are quality. ------------------

You new 2 rotors, new pads, and maybe caliper(s).
84-87 front likely need new bearings and seals to go into new rotors.
Rotors don't just warp by themselves.
stuck sliders and other parts or bad caliper(s) can make pad to drag and over heat the rotor cause big problems.
Need Brake Grease to lube sliders etc.
See my Cave, Brake Service
and Front Bearings for 84-87 Fiero------------------
