You might check at http://www.tirerack.com
I just received a catalog from them with a lot of new stuff... including brake parts. Not sure if they will have what you want but worth a look.

well, I definitly don't want to spend that kind of money. I guess what I am really wanting is a nice set of silver cross drilled rotors that will be the same size. I really think that they would give my truck that little extra sporty touch.. Here's some pics of my EXPY..

One problem with cross drilled rotors is that they end up with stress fractures around the drill holes and have to be constatntly inspected. I installed Powerslot rotors that I got from www.truckperformance.com and they perform incredibly. The Hawk pads make more dust than stock pads, but its worth it since they have saved my butt several times from killing some idiot who decided to take their time and pulled out in front of a 2 and a quarter ton truck going 60. My next upgrade will be to add SS brake lines.

First of all, you can't get slotted or drilled rotors turned. Next, slotted rotors will reduce pad life and are only really beneficial for track use. Get a good set of vented and drilled rotors. If they are quality rotors, and they are not used in extreme applications, they will not crack or warp for a long long time. You will definately need new pads, so you can brake them in together, and I would suggest ss lines and a fluid flush and fill. Go with a synthetic Dot 4 because of higher boiling point and other features. Rotors, fluid, pads, and lines combo will net you a huge difference in pedal feel and braking performance. Hope this helps.
