Make sure you have torx bits. For some reason GM now thinks it's a good idea to have a torx bolt hold the rotor on, and not just the caliper bracket. And in the Poconos, the rust that was on that bolt, had me very nervous 
But I was able to spray it down and break it free without it getting ruined haha

Cool new eyeballs for your Monte! Look bitchin...
All I use are the Wagner ThermaQuiet ceramic brake pads. Ultra superior stopping power, work better the hotter they get. Buy a mid price slotted / drilled rotor and you should be okay. Some are zinc coated to prevent them from becoming a rotationg mass of rust after a year..... They are not cheap, but I would rather spend $100 on pads than lose a multi-thousand dollar car...
Federal-Mogul has engineered the next generation in ceramic technology – Wagner ThermoQuiet CeramicNXT - providing even quieter braking and superior stopping power. Wagner ThermoQuiet CeramicNXT brake pads feature:
namic Noise Absorption™ (DNA) Technology
These next generation friction formulations are engineered to introduce a new level of performance in ceramic brake pads. The Dynamic Noise Absorption™ (DNA) technology targets and absorbs vibration at the point of contact while thermal-sensitive friction adapts to a wide range of temperatures for optimal braking performance in varying conditions. These advanced formulations provide quieter braking and superior stopping power.

Since you got massive condensation, that would lead me to believe the units are not properly sealed. A piece of tape cannot be expected to keep out mouisture for years to come........ Check to see if the outer lense ie seperating from the housing anywhere....
