Would it be ghetto if....

OK, so believe it or not, my front rotors are warped. So now I need new ones. Stillen is currently doing this deal where you buy a set of rotors you get free pads, so I am thinking of picking up a set of slotted or cross drilled rotors for the front. I do very brake heavy city / highway driving everyday.

But the question is, since I only need front brakes, will it look ghetto if I only have the slotted or drilled rotors in the front? Also, any input to stillen rotors?

Thanks!

I second that. Look at RotorPros. Get the complete set for the same price

You guys are using that term "ghetto" loosely. Like someone said, no one is gonna notice unless someone points it out. $300 is still wayyy to expensive for just the fronts.

Some cars come stock with cross drilled rotors in the front only.

I wouldn't say it is "ghetto." lol

Kinda off topic, but how do these compare to rotorpro (on topic: may be a better deal for the OP)?

ghetto is what I saw on the way to work this morning - 95 Civic w/spinner hubcaps - YES gents - spinner hubcaps and to top it off the "NOS" decal spread across the front (that gives him at least 5 to 10 HP) right ?

BTW Pitch Blk - might as well get the full set of drilled rotors bud - looks better and will perform better as well

I see that RotorPros only have the rotors for the 2007-2008 model maximas. Will they fit the 2004-2006 maximas?

No.. it wouldn't be ghetto since some mercedes come with front cross drilled and regular rears..(which for the life of me i can't comprehend) but it will make other enthusiasts be like hmmmm...they didnt do their rears...yet? For example i am about to put my wilwood calipers on the front..and not the rears ..AT THIS TIME..but i will rock just the fronts for a while...

Totally acceptable to focus on the front before the rears... not ghetto in my opinion

I think it would look fine...in essence it would look the same as other cars that are front wheel drive with the huge rotors and calipers in the front and smaller ones in the back.
