As someone w/some 20s with big tires (305/50s) I put on a set of slotted and drilled rotors from a company called F1 i believe...found them on ebay, my cousin has used them forever and beats his truck and gets the most life out of these and the pads we both use are Hawks, got the performance ones. They are great and the zinc covered rotors look great behind the chrome.

Thank you all
I had no seizing problems (whew), everything looked fine underneath.
Thanks again.

If you do a search on changing front brakes, you'll find that seized rotors are very common. A lot of the threads recommend using a BFH, what I found out the hard way was that they weren't kidding. I had to whale on the outside edge of the rotors with a 5 lb hammer in order to get them off.
