2003 Chevy Impala 44300 miles

I replaced the front brakes on my '03 impala after feeling a pulsing sensation when I would brake. I figured it was a rotor problem and replaced both along with the pads. After a test drive, I still felt the pulsing. I then checked the rear brakes and noticed that they needed to be replaced as well. The pads were extremely low. Do you think replacing the rear rotors and pads will solve the problem or do you think that there is a caliper problem? Also, is it recommended to put solid rotors on the rear or can I use a rotor only?

If thepads in back are worn out replace the rotors, you will find they are solid rotors vs vented.
