How many miles til the first break job on your HHR SS?
My HHR SS has about 27K on it and the rotors are looking a bit worn. Also, when I park on an incline the rotors squeal a bit with the the parking break. How many miles did you get out of your OEM breaks. 27K seems a bit too short, but I do alot of driving in town. What is your expericence?

SSs don't break any more often than other LTs or LSs. My 2011 LT has not broken yet at 85,000 miles.

HHR SS Break Life
Thanks! I figures I was due because my rotors are have a lot of grooves. By the way, any suggestions on low-dust pads?

The BRAKES(Brembos) on my SS are about 50% at 32k miles.

(Where are the breaks located at. I'm willing to learn.)
