Good decision for now Tim. Yeah it is sad on the rust situation. Was this vehicle ever in an accident? It doesn't make any difference where you live but rust is common on the brake components. We get it down here. You can paint the calipers and bracket. On the rotors check this out. Raybestos Advanced Technology. They come with black protective coating in the vane area and on the part that goes on the hub. I got a set of 4 for my Regal GS along with Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads. It is time for new brakes. Good cost too. BTW - Brakes being replaced are the original GM. Over 70K miles.
