Do you have an all-out racecar? If not then there's no reason to use a slotted rotor. They use up pads quickly. Every time you push the brakes the rotor cuts the pads like shredding cheese. The cross-drilling.. nice but causes stress fractures, which leads to needing new rotors quicker, too.
I think for the price, you'd be better off finding a blazer's spindles & dual-piston setup & swapping them on.
If you can't say anything nice.. post it on the internet!

first off, what pads are you using now?
if you arent running soft pads, swap to those first (very budget friendly) and see if that makes you happy.
my blazer is cooler than your s10

YUP. What they said. Blazer dual pistons or if you can swing it, just the camaro dual piston swap with the stock rotor would be a much better option.
