Brake Rotor Upgrade

What do you guys think, I plan on putting the EBC ultimax drilled rotors in the front of my 02 TL Type S. Would it look tacky if I kept the rotors in the rear stock flat rotors? I never track the car, its a daily driver, its just that I get vibration when I hit the brakes, and I think that my front rotors are warped. Im looking for some rotors that wont warp as easy. Thanks in advance guys.

i have had EBC black dash slotted for the past 2-3k miles and they have held up great. i also have stock rear rotors. i dont think it looks tacky at all. i plan to keep solid rotors in the back always. theres no need for slotted/drilled rotors there for daily driving.

of course, all the elders here will tell you to change all the rotors at once. someones probably also gonna suggest going for Racingbrake rotors instead

^you consider 2-3k holding up great? That said EBC makes good products, i will only buy their brake pads. Best out there.

I have over 100k on my rotora slotted rotors. If the product is quality (which EBC typically is) you wont have a issue.

Yes. You don't need to have them though. Braking won't be effected.
