I would never get one of those things. I use my truck as a truck quite a bit lately. ---

Maybe the rear brakes arent working at all and the fronts are now working harder and getting hot. ---

The rears seem fine. I dont know what would cause them not to work. No excessive wear and the pads look ok. If I remember right I changed pads and rotors in the rear around 30k miles ago. ---

Junk. Junk. Junk. My gf’s old Honda fit smoked a set of gold pads in less than a year. Do. Not. Want. Rotors are also fucking junk. I was being frugal with my silverado. Rotors warped like a Pringle in \< 10k. Calipers are probably fine. ---

I replaced whatever front rotors and pads were on the truck when I bought it (they were put on right before I picked it up) after close to 70k due to warping (rotors) and wear (pads) back in October. I put rears on it (Wearever) around 30k ago due to wear. They might have been the factory originals at that point. ---

I’ve used the wearevers before they weren’t bad. Lots of brake dust though. I thought the rotors had a lifetime replacement against warping and such? ---

I really don’t get much brake dust on my wheels, no more than any other pads Ive used before. ---

for future reference napa gold premium or whatever the top-of-the-line shit is called are great i’ve never run wearever so i can’t comment, IMO the only parts worth buying at advance are spark plugs and moog suspension products, im sure there are others but thats all i’ve ever got from advance. ---

Napa brakes are excellent. Dealerships use them all the time, FYI. ---
