I've replaced my rotors 2 times with OE and they warp way to easy. Cross drilled and slotted are the way to go. Help with the heat. Picked up SP Performance rotors. They look pretty good to. Buy online for about 200.00 per axel. :P

Do you mean $200 per wheel? .....$800 for the set?
2000 SSEi rotor size - Front rotors and rear rotors, stock diameter (11.9" dia Front, 11.1" dia Rear) and thickness (1.3" Front, 0.4" Rear).

My wife'* '01 Bonneville SE had some serious drubbing noise coming from the back brakes on any kind of a med/hard stop[30K miles on the car],......found out that the rear rotors were rusted on the inside surface[Wintertime salt on the roads take a nasty toll on just about Anything underneath the car],....took it to a Midas shop and had the rotors replaced(pads looked almost brand new,they filed them down even and reinstalled them)with Bendix ones,.....the guy said you'd be surprised how many GM cars are coming in with rusted/corroded rear rotors(inside surface),....rear solid rotaors are pretty much junk from the factory !!!

Check out these rotors. There great! I've put them through a lot of punishment and they are sooooo much better than stock. I picked up the cross drilled and slotted.

Too bad only the fronts come nickel plated and the rears are standard rustable unspecified metal. :?
How are yours holding up to corrosion and wear?
