OK, since I'm the one that brought this particular possibility to light
I'll be trying it, on the fronts only for now, within the next week. My 103K brakes are finally starting to get noisy and are looking a wee bit thin.
Front rotors are a touch over $100 each, slotted & drilled. The matching ceramic pads are about $50 for the set.
Rear rotors is where it gets ugly. 325mm ones are around $130, the 330mm (likely what I have) are almost $170! each.
Pads are around $60 for the rear.
All totaled, this upgrade would run around 650 for the 330mm, 570 for the 325. If these work as good as the ones I put on the Impala SS do, this will be one of the best bang for the buck upgrades, AND keeping it all GM. Pads also carry a lifetime warranty, and I've used that on the Impala ones once (not for being worn out in total, just had a bad hose that was dragging a caliper and really wore out a side).
I'm not sure if the rotors carry a similar warranty, will find that out when mine arrive.
Details and pictures will accompany this when it happens.
