Default Did you use the slotted rotors?

Did u use the slotted rotors with them? And if so, was there a noticable difference in stopping power?

Go to the GM Drivetrain and Suspension section and read my review of the EBC Greenstuff pads, I absolutely love them, and yes, you will benefit w/o slotted rotors. Slotted stock diameter rotors aren't good for much anyway, as the slots actually decrease the frictioin surface. I have stock size slotted rotors, and have had more benefit from good pads and stainless steel brake hoses than what the rotors did for me Oh, BTW, my EBC's have given me very little dust...less than the PraiseDyno pads that I had on there previously...

I lost track, but it's been a couple thousand now...truck's going to see limiited use over the winter, so we'll see how the pads like sitting then clamping down on rusty rotors...
