    I replaced pads, rotors, and tires on the front end of my '08 GXP at 20k miles. I'm rolling up on 40k miles and I can't believe that it is already looking like time to do at least the pads...maybe rotors. Is it my driving or is this typical maintenance?

    I replaced them with the exact GM parts...and really made all best efforts to drive aggressively...

    harder the pads, the more likely you'll have to replace the rotors.

    get some quality pads this time around.

    Try EBC Red stuff or Hawk's.
