I got tired of buying rotors and pads for the rear of my wifes 02 Tahoe and switched to EBC rotors and pads and after 20K they still look like the day I installed them. They do make a little noise for the first couple of hundred miles. I also have seen that backing plates rust out on these pretty often and the rust areas exspand to make contact with the rotors. It seems like the right rear wears down sooner than the left too. I checked the rotor temp on the last rear brake job i did and the right rear was way hotter than the left after a test drive, I replaced the caliper and both were within 5 degrees.
