so i picked up my brake pads yesterday for the rear, they were the wrong pads, thank u gm dealer, but when i took mine off today before i noticed i had the wrong ones, something was wrong with the picture, im not brake expert, but the inside pad on both side was all the way to metal, and the outside pad was almost no wear on it, that just doesnt seem right to me, what do u guys think

 

mine... seem to be doing that too

 

same here. I am almost 3/4 of the way worn through my second set of rear pads with 23K kilometers on the car. the fronts are like new! I'm not sure what the design flaw was with these rear pads/rotors but its not a good one. warrenty covered my first set, I doubt the second will be covered.

 

I replaced my rear rotors and pads at 30,000km (18,000 miles). I used Hawk HPS pads. Have 46,000 kms on now and rotors look good. Don't use OE pads, they suck.

 

OEM rotor? By any chance, do you still have the part numbers for the rotors and HPS pads?

 

^^x2!

 

From an earlier post of mine...

FYI: 08-09 SS/TC Rear rotor GM part #
For those that need it and for future searches.

15921402 rear brake rotor 08-09 Cobalt SS/TC

Verified from Gmpartsdirect.com by my VIN Number.

Hawk HPS pads are:
HB478F.605 Disc Brake Pad; HPS Performance Street w/0.605 Thickness; w/Upper Notch And Spring; Rear;

I have the Hawk HPS rear pads on mine for about 10k miles now, no issues and rotors are fine. Make sure you lube the caliper pins when you have them off.

 

Have your flame suit cause here it comes:
Are you kidding me? out of the 10+ threads on how the rear brakes wear funny, and turns out exactly the same way you described, you still have the ***** to post this. come on, use the search button.

 

now u put on urs cause here it comes back at u.

Out of all the times people have said it and i have said it and u still dont get it. The Search feature DOSNT WORK AND SUCKS ASS.

did that one get through???

 

I'm glad he did - I haven't been on the site in a while (i.e. months) and this was burried in the back of my head. Now, I have an answer and didn't have to spend 30 minutes reading through bullshit posts like this one to get to the answer I needed. Maybe if the people on this site spent less time acting like 2nd graders and more time focusing on the stuff that matters, more would use the search feature!

 

my front pads did that too i think because the the thing you gotta depress wears the inside pad more but i am no brake expert by anymeans

 

Oh im sorry, i guess typing "wearing brake pads" and the first 3 of the 4 threads lead to your answer with the 4th thread being this one, isn't good enough. Search works, shut your mouth, stop reposting threads. Oh and since search doesn't work on YOUR computer, heres the link: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/sear...archid=7502754 Enjoy!
