Brand of Rotors
My 10 is starting to show signs of a warped rotor. I know several of you have had to do this. Which brand did you find to be the best? I have read that the OEM is not the best choice. Do I need any special tools? I have a torque wrench.
Thanks

A quick cruise thru the How-To library gleaned this link:

Don't worry about the year; the procedure is pretty much generic.
Favorite brands are like belly buttons; everyone has one!

Also, it is quite unlikely that the rotors are warped. Plenty of posts here on the subject, but it's uneven pad deposits and/or rust that make for pulsing brakes.
I use any rotor I can get (even Chinese), and good pads, and never have had a problem. I also work for an auto company (not GM) in Chassis Warranty analysis, and have seen it all.
You're welcome to form your own opinion. There's plenty more info here if you search.

Thanks for the info. My pads are only 9 months old so I will probably reuse them. I am also thinking about painting the calipers while I have them off. Any precautions other then mask them properly.

Definitely do a search. This has been a subject on here for years.
I went through stock, another set of OEM, a set of Autozone replacements and had to have them turned 10k later and finally bought Powerstop slotted and Cross Drilled rotors two years ago and have not had an issue in 26 months. However, pad wear seems quicker with these rotors.

I've got one, too!
Oh wait, what are we talking about, the one spelled with a B-B or the one spelled with an A-H?
The best rotors I ever had were also the cheapest "no name Chinese". They were at 120,000 miles and counting before the car went away.
