Brake Upgrades

anyone running slotted or drilled rotors on their rigs? notice any differance in the braking? what brands have you used? is it worth it to upgrade them, doesnt seem like much of an expense for added safety so i was thinking about upgrading them. should i upgrade the pads as well or not really necessary? i'll tell you one thing, Ford brakes are 10x better then those spongy GM brakes!!

I replaced my fronts with Performance Friction slotted rotors and pads and I'm happy with the feel and stopping power. I couldn't bring myself to pay for the Cryo rotors.
