I have the GM drilled and slotted rotors with almost 20K miles on them and haven't had a problem yet. No signs of excessive wear or grooving.

You don't have an option for upgraded/aftermarket blanks, so I just put stockers. They're doing fantastic. Coming up on 40k fronts and rears will no grooving or abnormal wear and I'm anticipating at least another 5k if not 10k out of them. Paired with Hawk HPS pads.

Ah. My dad tried to run drilled rotors before and burned through 3 sets of Brembo rotors in a year. I can't do d/s because they toast themselves on a road course.

If you're just daily driving on them you don't have as much risk of them cracking. If you're still worried about it, go with slotted only.

^^^Same.
Powerslots and Hawk ceramics FTMFW! I just put mine on 2 weeks ago, after destroying all 4 stock rotors in 25k miles. my pads still had good life on them, but all 4 stock rotors were warped, glazed, and grooved. just figured i would replace everything at once.

im at 40000 miles on my stock rotors and no grooves or warping, but i can tell they are begining to wear down....guess that says something about my driving compared to how long i see most peoples stockers last

EBC rotors, slotted and dimpled. The dimples serve the same function as being drilled, without weakening the rotor. 30k on them with original EBC redstuff pads and plenty of material left. I have no vibration under braking and have yet no notice any brake fade, but am not auto-crossing it either. Satisfaction for me is 100%

They are slotted and drilled rotors too, might want to add to vote options.

i have stoptech rotors and hawk pads in the garage waiting for spring to be put on! The stockers are grooved pretty bad and pull to the side under brake pressure.
