This is how both of my rear rotors look after about 4 or 5k miles,each side had 2 grooves in them for some reason now

I use Hawk Super Duty pads and Centric rotors on my Suburban and 4Runner with excellent results, now almost 50k on the old 'Burb's brakes, unheard of on OBS trucks. I used to use HPS on my Camaro and get 40k with great braking until death...but they did dust a lot. I've seen evidence that the HPS 5.0 is a meaningful improvement over the old HPS compound and will go with that. Example: Strano used to recommend HPS as a great street pad but now recommends HPS 5.0. There are lots of good brake compounds out there and Hawk is one of the 3 or 4 brands Sam Strano recommends...good enough for me. Know the tradeoffs between ceramic and composite compounds before breaking it down further.

For the record, Pampers are complete trash of a diaper. 😅

Never do cross drilled, weakens the structure and removes mass from the heatsinks/rotors. I'd consider slotted for a track car or low mileage car. Check the C7.R brakes FWIW. For a driver, high quality blanks are the way to go.

When they did the discount last July, I ordered front and rear rotors - 4 items, 4 separate orders to get the discount on all 4.
I've got 2 ACDelco items in my cart now, and it's applying the discount to both, so I guess I either did something wrong last year, or they're applying the discount differently this year.

The 20% off ends at the end of the month, so get 'em while they're hot!
