Re: A Couple of basic questions....

Regarding pads, I would definately recommend going withthe ceramics. They cast a little extra, but last a lot longer - and develop less dust.
When you talk about slotted and drilled rotors, I think they are a waste of money for our trucks - JMO - and I would recommend just getting your standard, inexpensive, rotors from PepBoys, Advanced or AutoZone. I can't see the benefit on paying $100 + per rotor for S/D rotors, they don't last any longer, and are harder to get turned (i've heard) than the standard rotors.
Again, this is just in my opinion - but I don't usually have a lot of disposable income....
