Honestly GM isn't the only one that's had trouble with this. My Mom's old Grand Cherokee, my '07 Accord, and a Subaru that was in the family all ate through two rears to one set of fronts. Oh, and my '91 Grand Prix. Rear shoes will last forever though!

I remember GM N-bodies were harsh on brakes... Grand Am's, Malibus and whatever other variants out there ate through pads and rotors like they were free. What was weird was that my 07 Cobalt SS/SC had the brakes and rotors off the same year Malibu and I got over 100,000 miles out of them. In fact, when I changed them out, the rotors still weren't warped and the rear pads weren't even close to the rivets yet.
The NAPA rotors i put on the front of the SS after the factory set, well they were warped inside of 5,000 miles.
