Yes. As long as you do both sides at the same time.. I would definately do the fronts if you have to chose one.. That way in the winter, your rear-end will not slide out from behind you when you hit the brakes.

Usually your fronts will go out first as they are used the most. Takes more brake pressure to use the rear brakes. Most wear occurs on the fronts, unless you are a heavy braker or something is holding up.

Thanks for the response Cain. That does make a lot of sense. Do you have any suggestions of what disc brands to buy for the two front?
