need new front rotors & pads question

i am going to be needing new front rotors and brake pads for my automatic 2005. i was interested in getting either slotted or drilled/slotted rotors for the front only. the rears were just changed under warranty and wont need to be changed for some time. my question is, if it is worth only doing the front with slotted rotors and not the rear, and also how would they look on the car with only being on the front?

any input +/- would be appreciated, thank you guys!
also brand preferences and experiences

HA!! I asked the same question a few weeks ago. Here's the thread - mostly (all?) positive responses.

I did do them and they look fine. Mine are Bremo's but the basic question is the same.

We have packages for MT and AT TL's on our website:

http://store.excelerateperformance.c...m=brakepackage

STOPTECH/Powerslot slotted or drilled and slotted rotors with STOPTECH Performance pads.

If you get the slotted rotors and you have an Auto TL, then that disc comes with a curved vane and a power alloy compound with a black coating on the hubs and vanes.

If you get the slotted rotors and you have an M/T or TL-S, which has Brembo calipers, then that disc still has the power alloy compound and black coating.
