is it okay to change the front rotors/pads and leave the rear stock?

 

Don't see why not? Your Front rotors will make a bigger difference, I think the Skunk2 TSX only swapped out the fronts with Brembos

 

As long as you buy a brake kit designed for the specific application, it should be okay. If you're not careful, you may run into brake proportioning issues that will actually result in longer stopping distances.

 

didn't Mr. Heeltoe just change fronts? You may want to ask him.

 

i remember readin an article about this.

it was about the vortech civic si coupe.

they changed the front rotors and didn't notice a huge difference.

then they changed the back rotors and they stopped a considerable amount shorter.

so they concluded that rear brakes do matter, even in a FWD
