No rear pads (aftermarket) for SS\TC

This is not good! I've tried every autoparts store in the country and none has proper rear brake pads for the LNF... So I'm told by the dlr that I'll need $173 for the rear pads.... If GM sold things with out the high mark up they's sell more = make more $$$

When the car is driven cross country for work (it's 4 months old and has 18k on the ODO) I've been told the rear brakes get used more then the fronts under braking, but it's typical GM, GM has never made good brakes or the right sized brakes for many of their cars.

Go bother someone else, you are of no assistance.

don't tell this guy that he might get mad at you. Aftermarket stuff won't be avaliable for a while yet no need to get pissy at me it just makes no sense that you have to replace rears already or even fronts for that matter.
