:) Hi, Vented rotors are rotors that have a gap with cooling fins in the middle. They are much better than solid rotors. I think what you really meant was that drilled and slotted rotors are for racing. I'm sure that your Sierra has vented rotors and you are happy to have them.

Of course that's what I meant. Thanks for catching that. I've never seen a rotor that wasn't vented.

And I'm not sure why some seem to feel obligated to try and analyze the motives of others who post comments.

The reason IS......that trying to "make your brakes better" often is a simple waste of time and money. Many people don't think it through far enough to realize that.

Pointing that out is an attempt to help someone out. If not the OP of this thread, then maybe someone else.

I appreciate that. More often than not slotted and drilled rotors cost far more than standard ones. Case in point, the link to AutoAnything. $283 for my truck. I paid $150 for rotors and pads from NAPA. What would I gain by spending another $133.00? If someone feels they work well for them great, but just peruse car and truck forums. Very few people will say they gained anything by putting them on.
