Thanks for the help. I'll take it on Mon and see what they'll do. Hopefully I won't be regretting my first GM purchase. I'll post the results.

Shawn, don't know if you're still around, but what rotors would you put on a 2004 Burb LT 4wd? Thanks!

Don't know if Shawn is still around but Brembo, Baer, Hawk,EBC, Raybestos are all very good brands. A few others I can't think of but any of those companies are top notch and stand behind their products.

If you are just now replacing your original ones, I would suggest going back with the OEM AC/Delco ones as they will give you at least the same amount of reliability and wear

Thanks for the suggestions. I just bought the car used with 103,000 miles on it, so I don't really know if these are the original rotors. I don't need high end parts, but I've learned not to go cheap and have problems later.

You're right about not needing high end and also about going cheap. I always like OEM unless its cheap Chinese stuff they used. But the brands I mentioned are all just as good and they each have they're version of good better and best.
