Sure enough, the front rotors looked good but were severely dished. New rotors and pads all around turned my car from a Tahoe into a track star.

Just curious when you replaced the master cylinder did you also replace the booster?

The rotors look fine, visually. The fronts look pretty new as they are and the rears look like they are worn a bit but nothing that concerns me. Ill have to ask my dad, who had the car before me, when the rears were last replaced. Its probably been a little while but like I said they dont look terrible. A few rotational groves but nothing bad. Unfortunately it wont be until Saturday when I can get under the car again. Just order some parts from Pelican and I will replace the rear pads (needed) and maybe go ahead and do the rotors as well. I will also be bleeding the brake lines at the MC as I have a feeling there is some air in there. Thanks again all and I will post an update by the weekend!
