Rear Rotor pictures

So turns out the inboard sides of my rear rotors are committing suicide while the fronts just chill out and do nothing (full material, still some crosshatch left on rotor). Within the past week I've gotten a metal on metal noise that is getting progressive louder. Last time I heard it was when a brake line on a plymouth breeze internally collapsed and became a check valve which caused the brake shoe to suicide into the drum. I went outside and snapped some crappy pics with the cell camera. Might have jacked it up and disassembled it but its 20F outside and I'm really not that much of a masochist.

oh yea, about 11.5 miles too

So here are pics of each of the inners

The pics he should have posted






Mine have been warping really fast too but until it destroys the entire pad and it's metal/metal contact, i won't worry about it, at that point it's GM's problem to replaces my pads/rotors under warranty for premature wear.

In 11.5k miles with only the inners worn this is most definitely a quality or design issue covered under warranty.
