Slotting and drilling may help to dissipate heat, but on a truck which is unlikely to see sustained high temps, this is not an issue.

If your rotors are in good condition, buy a set of performance pads and save yourself the cost of the rotors.

Brembo is excellent quality, but these wont work much better than stock, IMHO.
I agree, but if you do upgrade pads the extra heat dissapation would help, dont you think? That was my thinking. In the past when I have upgraded pads I have always ended up with warped rotors from overheating, so that was my thinking.

I doubt you would generate enough extra heat with new pads to warp rotors.

I just cant see spending $400 on rotors which are not bigger than stock. Especially since ive seen Baer's on sale for $550.
