Those are the correct rotors, and they are around $20 cheaper for each rotor through Summit Racing. Make sure to use a quality pad like Raybestos or Bendix with these rotors. Hawk does not make pads for '06+ model years w/drum brakes.......

Drilled rotors are for bling, if you use them for repeated heavy duty stops you can cause hair line cracks. Slotted rotors may help, especially if you run HPDE in a vette. For every day driving and towing modern rotors and brake pads will do. Slotted rotors were used in the 70-80's extensively in racing, today you very seldom see them--look at the C6R Corvette. You are better off getting stock rotors and running Hawke HD truck pads or something similar. I tow an enclosed trailer (24' and corvette inside) and use that set up. On the vette I use stock NAPA rotors and racing pads. HTH

They make them for the front rotors: HB561P.710 according to the website. That is where 80% of the stopping occurs in a truck. HTH
