Does the 11.75 rotors give much better braking?  I think AAJ uses GM 
calipers-are they the slider type. I don't know the pro's and con's of 
slider calipers or what they are.................MO

If you go w/ 11.75 rotors you have to have 15" wheels. The smaller rotors 
use the slider calipers but can have 14" wheels.
