            Mine's pulsating again, debating whether I should take it in for them to give me new rotors (they said it was GM's policy) while doing the brake maintenance, or should I just go straight to replace them myself.

            I'm eyeing the OEM compatible rotors by Brembo and the Hawk Ceramic pads.

            But if I have to pay, I will NOT go back to AC Delco.

              Very nice! I love the black and red Will the rotors wear down to silver or no?

                When Changing the pads/rotors air shouldn't get into to hydraulic system.... but as the pads wear, the piston has a further distance to travel, and that's how air tends to get inside. IF the pedal feels hard as a rock you're good to go. If there's any play, you should bleed them.

                I think brembo only makes fronts that are an upgrade if I remember correctly (which is why I didn't go the Brembo route.)

                  Re: AC Delco stuff any good?

                  I ended up getting some Cquence Ultima dimpled/slotted rotors (front + back) and Soft Tech HP brake pads. Total cost was $374.08 US. Not bad for rotors + brake pads that get pretty good reviews. I'm looking forward to installing them in the coming weeks! Any tips on replacing rotors on the 6? Is it pretty straightforward?
