Won't you however be giving up the advantage of the self cleaning feature of the slots, thus potentially extending the life of rotor/pad?

Hey buddy if you decide to install drilled, slotted rotors go for the R1 concepts.That's one opinion on drilled only vs drilled/slotted...
For another, read further down in the link I posted...
They are better & their customer services is excelent,you can pay over the phone,ask questions, etc.
I purchased R1 concepts rotors & so far the have hold up very good.
The pads you shall go in person & get them at auto store.Just get the very best you can afford to.

since I already have a new set of OEM pads in inventory...

Are the R1s a good alternative to Stock Rotors, Or are they an improvement. With my new Wheels/Tires I'm in need of an upgrade... My brakes were replaced about 5K ago (previous owner) Both Rotors and Pads (pads are a ceramic dust free I believe) And Rotors I'm fairly certain are OE. (I'll have to check the receipts).
Is there any "big brake" kit that's compatible with our vehicles? Are our stock calipers plenty good?
Just tryin' to be safe here

I've never seen "big brake" or multi piston calipers offered for our application.

Dub,
I know that they are a little more expensive than the R1 rotors, but I have been extremely happy with my drilled and slotted SP Performance rotors. They grab like a son-of-a-wench and look great doing it. The holes have a radiused edge so they won't wear out the brake pads too fast and the coating that they came with still looks good so far (no rust).
The guy I ordered from was in Georgia and called me on a Saturday after I had bought the rotors to make sure that they where exactly what I was looking for. Nice guy.
That's my two cents.
