I bought my EBC and pads from partsgeek
EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors; Set of Two; Front; 13.9 in. Dia.; and green pads

I think it ran up near $375 back in Feb.

After a lot of reading on here, seemed EBC was the way to go--and that's what I did. You might find them cheaper at other websites.

I bought Green stuff pads, but I got these slotted rotors from 03-07 Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500 Front Brake Rotors: Brake &amp Disc Brake Rotor Set. I called them up and talked to them. They do the plating, porting. I can't complain about either except they still squeak a bit. I replaced them 3K miles ago.

I just installed the EBC sloted with the green pads and they made a nice improvement. I've noticed that I don't need to apply as much pressure to the pedal to stop.

I replace the stock units because when they heat up they would developed a slight warp that could be felt in the pedal and the steering wheel. All better now.

if you don't mind spending a little, these are the cats a$$.... Big Bite cross drilled They're machined from one piece. Some you'll find out there are two piece which is inferior but, will work.

Personally, I wouldn't take any drilled rotors. They tend to form stress fractures at the hole, can cause problems depending on how much heat you put into them. Slotted are just as effective and releasing gas pressures from between the pad and rotor, though. I used slotted rotors when I rebuilt another truck, they work great.
