This is for the front not the back.

I'm gonna go with just the slotted rotors. Should help stopping a little bit and they should keep the pads from glazing so bad...

I put slotted and drilled rotors on my coupe and they work fantastic. There are people who say they don't do anyting more than look good or they are prone to cracking. I've had mine on since last June and I've had no issues. If you want the rotors, buy the rotors and just take your time installing them and if you are doing the rear, make sure you have the tool to turn back the caliper.

Is it wise to just change the front pads if the rears ones are still good?

I don't see why not. I just did my fronts, no backs. And sorry I thought you were talking about the back.

lol it doesnt add stopping power its looks and show you can say it more for road racing or auto x constant braking therfore the drilled/slotts allow to cool faster
