    just wondering if anyones gotten this setup. Not a big fan of drilled and slotted rotors for a truck. Wanted to see if anyones run this setup before i buy them or just get new OEM stuff which ive been very happy with.

    Looks like damn near the same price as OEM. For that I might as well go OEM

    I suggest reviewing this thread below. Those rotors will be a downgrade over stock:

    Your rotors appear to be on backwards. Slots should slot forward, not back.

    That's been beat over the head all over the world by different race teams and testers. Both have plus sides and downsides. But neither is wrong. It comes down to the drivers personal preference

    What have you done to your truck lately

    so I guess mine is backward too! No wonder when I press the brakes it goes and when I press the gas it stops.

    Slot direction doesn't dictate rotor direction, the internal vanes dictate rotor direction. If the vanes are curved, you have to put them in the correct direction, either slot forward or backwards as indicated by the manufacture. If they are straight vane, it doesn't matter and it's up to preference of the owner.
