I understand that. As I have stated, we supply the GXP upgrade. $750 per axle. Let me know when your ready and give us a call.

In regards to drilled/slotted, I use to get the power slot, slotted drilleds and they were decent. I agree that Drilled/slotted are not a good idea if you get cheaper rotors, they have more of a tendancy to crack due to the less/cheaper material.
A few years back I decided to pay a lil more and get drilled/slotted rotors from Baer..pricier, but the change in braking was unbelieveable...and no issues with cracking or anything so I was pleased with them.
I am considering doing a caliper upgrade, when I do I am weighing towards baer calipers...they'll be in the 3k range, just wanna do some upgrades to the gto before I go ahead with this.

i believe GXP calipers are heavier than Fbody brakes if weight is an issue to you.
I did not know that about the GXP brakes! Nice bit of info there. Was it an option or standard equipment?
I have found the GXP upgrade on ZZP's site
It would be 13" rotors front and rear.
However i was wondering if there was anything that would be bigger?
I recently Upgraded to 20" Wheels (not donk or ghetto or whatever)(looks clean and sports) and the 13" rotors are only a little bigger than the stock 12" up front...
NEW WHEELS AND TIRES!!!
SMALL BRAKES!!!

IMO, the cheaper solution if you don't want so much gap would be to drop to a 19" or 18" wheel; plus- 14"+ brakes are going to be completely overkill for any normal setup anyways.

I couldn't even install those brakemotives rotors on my rear without metal flaking off. Haven't had a great experience with them. My car still stops, but I hate doing it when the brakes are hot.
I'm gonna wear them off since I don't drive much anymore, I'll upgrade them to a real rotor when I have the extra cash.
