Slotted and drilled rotors or stock?

[drewxjn]

Has anyone upgraded there brakes to slotted and drilled? Lokking into this but i am looking for advise and opinions on if i should upgrade or stick with stock. Thanks in advance!

A couple people on here have done the wilwood set ups, I'm sure they will chime in sooner or later

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

Pic from my last brake project on the car:

Get slotted but not drilled.

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..

Is there a thread or how-to on this?

I have the Bear drilled and Slotted Rotors and have seen major improvement and Love them.

Thanks Chauncey. I'll add this to the to-do list as well.

ive probably got about 7-8k mi on mine now, and the one thing i would like to try is putting metallic pads on- this is why: these will slide you right out of the seat, once they build up heat. somebody correct me if im wrong but ceramics dont build up heat as fast as metalics, wich is good for high speed driving but most morons are encounterd in city driving. now with that said with stock brakes on the 22's, if i held them to the floor doing about 85mph, they would totaly fade out slowing down around 40mph. that was it- they were done. that is deffinently not the case anymore! with the drilled /slotted 07 rotors, calipers and ceramic pads, they keep clamping down all the way to a dead stop.

If you are looking for low cost better stopping. I would go with the EBC dimpled and slotted rotters and green stuff pads.
I did this on my '06 Yukon xl to help with towing our camper.
Noticable improvement for low investment.
I would love the big break kit some day but supercharger is first on the list

I have the EBC drilled + slotted fronts and rears and love the difference..

hey man i have a 02 denali and i bought the drilled slotted rotor kit with pads for my truck off ebay and i have had them for a while grreat break responce and never break fad as well as less break dust on the wheelsyou can say im not the slowest driver as well i do a lot of 4x4 ing and do decent trailer pulling and never had a problem

Hey guys, hate to dig up an older thread, but I have a question about the brake lines to the new caliper. Do the lines from the NBS truck fit the NNBS caliper or do you need to modify the line somehow? I only ask because my lines are on the way out and I'm thinking of upgrading to braided stainless and I would like to do this mod in the very near future. TIA

Edit: So I'm a goober. Read through the "full" thread and found the answer.

Learned about the 07 + upgrade through this thread so I thought I would post up some pictures. I needed to do my rear brakes on the burb so I decided to do them all upgrade to slotted/drilled rotors and ceramic pads. a Big Noticeable increase in braking power after doing the swap. Rotors and pads ran $180 and the Calipers from the front with brackets and new hardware ran $40ea.
