I am a big proponent of blank rotors on street vehicles. Drilled and slotted all too often leads to cracking. The advantage is only visual. Sure you lose some weight with holes in your rotors, but there are inherent thermal disadvantages to that as well.
The biggest benefit from having a larger rotor is that there is a greater mass for heat to be stored, which is really good for long or steep descents. With more area, your brake surface is able to stay within operating temperature better, and the surfaces are less likely to get too hot and fade.
When I did my brake upgrade on my escalade to NNBS i looked for quality blanks. I am running SSBC rotors. I did look at those brembos but had a hard time sourcing them. Definitely would have considered the EBCs @ $117/pair
I am running duralast pads... cant remember which ones. Either gold or the duralast gt carbon fiber ones. Quiet, no fade, stops great with hydroboost but it doesn't tow and isnt a racetruck.
