Slotted and drilled on my wife’s CTS, my 16 and I have R1’s on my 17.

I’ve had two sets with good luck there ceramic pads work good too they stop my big ass Tahoe on a dime just about!
Best budget brake upgrade for anyone who don’t want to spend the money for brembos.

Callahan also makes a nice set with powdered red calipers if you can find them it would be on eBay I think they were a lil cheaper then the power stops

I installed the Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors and pads on my 2015 Honda Fit, and they are the best braking combo that I ever installed on a vehicle. When the time comes, I will be installing them on my 07 Yukon XL Denali.

I gave a full set of these a shot. 2 years later I am not a fan and do not recommend. 2 of the 4 rotors wore down prematurely on the back side. One on the L/F, other on the R/R. Calipers are all new so it's not from one of them hanging up. And I notice some funny chipping or wear along the edge of the slots. Pads held up well. Went back to OE type smooth coated rotors, no regrets so far.

When I did all that work in my Build Thread, I could have used anything at all. Time and time again, I remembered how well the OE stuff works and lasts. Was a no brainer, but I have to admit, more people like the Power Stop than don't but less than half seem to think it is better than OE but the price sways them at times.

I noticed there is a part number called out for the 2013 suburban. I wonder what the difference is.
the ones I linked have the hat drilled also helps dissipate the heat I have had them on the 18 silverado for a while now work great, they will fit the suburban.
I have upgraded to the baer erradispeed on the yukon which work really really good until you get them overheated then there is some noticeable fade which doesn't happen unless you work them pretty hard it's happened to me a couple times driving down very long downgrades with lots of turns. I don't drive like a normal person I drive it like it's a sportscar the work around to not overheat the brakes is to use the transmission grade braking

So the rotors work for the nnbs and k2s?

Yes, there is no difference, there may have been some weird thing they did in 08? with the calipers and pad size that was a one-off type of deal that I have seen before but otherwise all the 1500's are the same from 07-20 with perhaps very minor differences that would not affect anything were talking a couple mm difference in thickness/height, etc
they will also work on the 00-06 nbs if they have done the nnbs caliper upgrade this includes all lines gmc/chevy/cadillac. pickups and suv's, avalanche. the only one i am not sure on is hummer a lot of it is the same under the hood though
just like pads the fronts are 1363 and rears are 1194 all the other numbers/letters don't matter (size wise) they only denote the manufacturer and pad material used i.e metallic/semi-metallic/ceramic, those numbers are pretty universal but some manufactures use there own separate number
