Thanks Oldblue, it's probably one of my favorite upgrades so far. 
Thanks DwRed2LT. I love my Depos as well...they were a long time coming. I think it completely changes the look from innocent to evil.
Sure thing Chef, I'll shoot you a PM with the info & post the part #'s here as well...in case anyone else is interested. 
My pads are still in the break in period, but I can already tell a HUGE difference with this setup. There is no rotor, or discernible wind noise that I can hear (seemed to be a common complaint about slotted rotors) & I can't even detect the slightest shake in my steering wheel when braking as I could with the OEM equipment. Overall, I am extremely happy with the upgrade.

The Depos were the first mod I did. What a difference!
You have great pictures of yours. They do look sinister and they really light up the road.
You did a nice job on your brake upgrade. Looks pretty affordable, too!

The SS 11.65 inch rotor upgrade has been my best upgrade, so far ! I highly recommend doing this on any LS/LT it's any easy upgrade , you keep your OEM calipers and they fit in the 16 inch OEM steelies!

Thanks everybody!
It's been awhile since I really made any changes. Got a few more items waiting around to go on...couple more updates soon hopefully.
Now that I have several months on the brake upgrade, I can honestly say it is the best upgrade so far. She stops like never before...even better than our Crossfire. I can hear the rotor noise now that I couldn't before, but it doesn't bother me at all. The stops are confident with zero steering wheel shake. With the Redstuff pads bedded & comfortably worn in, they bite hard & stop consistently every time. I highly recommend this upgrade.
