    can you put slotted rotors on the front and keep the rears standard?

    Yes You can, What you dont want to do is change one side thats when you have issues lol
    And also looks silly lol Slotted fronts but solid backs lol
    Be Sure to get good Pads for the slotted rotors, I had cheap pads and found them noisy, changed to Bendix of sorts and nice and quite now

    I grabbed some Remsa police spec pads from GSL recently when I changed to Protex slotted rotors and the pull up is awesome to say the least. Price is cheaper than DB1332ULT (police pad) bendix by around $100 too

    yup, and as above do all round rotors and pads

    also do a brake bleed with some good quality brake fluid to maximise your stopping power

    I do a custom slotted rotor that has curved slots and dimples. $155 a pair for fronts.

    These are the rotors on our Senator.

    Yeah the rears are a bit squealy lol. For the performance they give I don't care. i didn't re use the original bendix brake pad anti squeal liners which may have been a mistake and the cause of the squeal. I am getting a mechanic mate to nab some off a car this week and will fit them to the remsa pads to see if that rectifies the noise.

    Dust? The way I drive every pad is dusty
