If you are bluing your rotors yeah, otherwise why bother?My brakes suck, so I'm upgrading the rotors.
Slotted and/or drilled rotors are generally better than smooth...yes?.
TY.

Defective calipers happen, but more than likely is an improper install or the most common slide's aren't lubricated properly and finally air in the system (improper bleeding).Let's put it this way, I've already had to replace tie rod ends as well around 40K...so defective OEM calipers would be no surprise.
An 05' Chevy, first year of a new body style as well...no way in hell I'm using GM parts.Your rotors only go bad when you have excess wear on your pads.....worn pads will wear down a set of rotors in one day.The best way to upgrade your braking is to replace your calipers and brake pads.Get OEM parts.....no after market stuff unless your hotrodding/road racing.
What kind of vehicle is it??
haha .. ignored the grinding sound from the squealers and it eventually went away lol. those were off a big heavy diesel truck so it happens quick, I think the guy also towed lots of trailers... he discovered his rotors like that while 8 hours from home with a 30' camper hooked up. ouch. he was able to get it fixed right away, but yeah thata gotta be some sort of world record, or darwin award or something lol!!!WTF happened to that Dodge ?? no... How the F` does that happen ? no....The cat says it all !i
Not gonna bother with those, already decided on Bosch premium smooth b/c corrosion is an issue as well.If you are bluing your rotors yeah, otherwise why bother?
Thanks, I've known this for years...figure the tranny will be next.I'm sorry man but you got a lemon.You've replaced tie rods,steering shaft plus all the other shitty parts.....now the braking is bad.My 99 Chevy has 260,000 miles,my 94 gmc has 200,000,my wife's 00 jeep even has 160,000.........unless your driving on rough,dirt roads you shouldn't ever have to replace the parts you've listed except your brake pads.
The car has already burned up 2 sets of aftermarket rotors, and 2 sets of top of the line Wagner pads.definitely do not use OEM parts. its a hair pricier to buy aftermarket (OEM aint cheap either) but it will last you forever.

I could spend all morning listing the shitty OEM parts I have already had to replace...all of which were upgraded except the rotors.
The intermediate steering shafts went out at 22K, and 33K before I finally upgraded to an after market part.

Just harvested enough to buy another Tundra, only reason I have kept the Chevy is b/c there are a millions on the road...and the POS car keeps me under the radar.Hate to say it but........go with the fucking toyota...lol
Mailbu V-6 bought in Florida.Is it a Cobalt, SUV, Cavalier, Impala, P/U, Vette ???????
Rear is actually good, original calipers as previously mentioned and rotors/pads replaced once...but still good. Tires were all replaced at 30K after OEM's took a dump, but all are the same original size...rims are original.How are the rear brakes?Are you running bigger wheels and tires?
