I think brakes is one area I don't want to go cheap.
The best bang for the buck might result in a bang you don't want.
I'll stick with GM stock and not worry if they look pretty.

I had EBC slotted and dimpled (looks like cross drilled) on a truck I had. They were about $125 each and they were by far the best rotors I've ever had on my vehicles. They lasted a very long time and sold the truck with them still on.

I would try and stay away from drilled rotors. They do have a bad habit of cracking at the hole. They aren't nessary for the street. To me it would be a waste of money.I would go to a slotted rotor if you wanted to change.There is a lot less of a chance for problems. Stock rotors work great with a good set of pads and the stainless caliper upgrade. Also I allways recomend stainless braided flex hose on all corners. You will feel the extra pedal firmness. I got em I like em.
