Never in my life will I get those.
They look cheap, and though it may come off as a deal it will probably mess up REAL quick. I once was going to get some rotors online too.
I say you visit www.ajusa.com for some rotors and pads, also www.autoanything.com has good prices too.
If you want a bit cheaper you can also check R1 rotors, but the two websites above are better IMO!

First of all, you do not want cross drilled rotors unless you are paying big $$$ for a Baer set up. Rotors are not something that you want to go cheap on. Believe me, I know from experience. Those rotors will crack as soon as they get hot and then you will be buying new ones all over again. I just got done doing brakes all the way around and from all my research, I HIGHLY recommend the EBC slotted and dimpled rotors and a good pad. Also remember, that these trucks do about 80% of braking up front. So there is really no need to upgrade the rear rotors. If you are looking for a nice brake upgrade, I would spend some $$ and get a quality set of front rotors and then do high end pads all the way around. That will keep more money in your pocket and will make a nice upgrade from the very ****** OEM brakes. I noticed a very noticeable difference with my EBC set up. And like I have said before concerning the OEM set up, you know the brakes are ****** when the pads outlast the rotor.
My recommendation is to stay away from anything cross drilled and anything on eBay as far as brakes go. SSBC, EBC, Baer and Brembo are all top notch. Powerslot rotors are ok, but compared to EBC they will only last about half as long.

+1 I have had friends that have had horror stories with rotors. If they aren't good quality cross drilled rotors then expect cracking over time as they heat up. Slotted and dimpled rotors are definitely a safer bet and obviously if you go with the batter companies they will be a lot better quality and last a lot longer.

ENOUGH SAID, thanks a lot for your comments. I will save up a bit more and get myself a good set up.

Hey Conor, where did you get your EBC setup from?
Right now I swear my fonr brakes are slightly squealing and I plan on changing the rotors and pads. Right now I am looking at EBC and Powerslot but prefer EBC, and for pads I am cheking out Posi Quiet ceramin pads, are they any good?

 

[hybridhoe]

Agreed. Invest in a good brake set up. Don't go cheap when it comes to stopping.

Not a problem one with my brakes. The pedal is firm and easy and they'll stop that beast on a dime.

The brakes stop the truck fine, the issue with GM OEM brakes is that they are prone to warping very prematurely. Just give them a little time, if you know anything about brakes you will see what I am talking about.

I ordered mine from a local 4WD shop called Olympic Offroad. But I know you can order the rotors for our trucks online.

Check out my post about the brakes I just did to my tahoe...the improvement is unbelievable..anyone modding their tahoe with different rims/tires or performance(go-fast)parts should definetly consider this upgrade.
