Brake Pad Question
I check out my brake pads recently and notice the driver's side was worn considerably, but the passenger side hadn't worn down half as much. What's up with that? Caliper problem?
Also, has anyone ever used EBC brake pads? More specifically, the Green Stuff ones? Any good? Shitty? Worth buying?
TIA

Re: Brake Pad Question (thegrayghost)
There is a chance your drivers side caliper is sticking. Soon it will freeze. The same thing happened to me but on the other side.
EBC Greenstuff pads are good street pads. Better than OEM.

Re: Brake Pad Question (rapid_roy)
sounds like a "sticky" caliper also....
check the brake lines all the way from the master cylander to the caliper. make sure there are no minor crakes or warping...if so replace

Yea, replace that caliper and think about the rotors, I had a similar problem and my rotors were warped even though they were smooth as anything

Re: Brake Pad Question (thegrayghost)
actually... its a frozen slider. Its pretty common....
just get a hammer and some powerlube. Spray the slider with powerlube and break it free with the hammer...should be back to normal...

Re: Brake Pad Question (gear)
After freeing the slider pin, don't forget to use a heavier duty grease (I like high temp silicone grease) to lube everything back up again... otherwise you'll be doing this again soon.
