I'm not buying drilled rotors again, slotted get the job done better and gives better pedal feel.

im on the fence what to get. If anything it would be slotted. How ever, i live in NE so we get snow and salt in which corrode rotors. Slotted cant be resurfaced.

I installed EBC slotted rotors and hawk pads on the front of my yukon and it stops much better now. It wasn`t much more than the price of stock replacements. Well worth the extra $$.

id just go with the stocks. unless your doing a big brake upgrade wilwood brembo and or race. idk about our trucks but, in the past ive had slotted and drilled n slotted rotors. i didnt notice any difference to me its just for looks.
a good set of rotors and pads makes a big difference. or look into upgrading your fronts to the nnbs caliper pads n rotors.

All of my slotted and cross drilled rotors cracked from the lug to the closest vent hole.

Slotted is the way to go. No cracks so far..
