Possible Brake Caliper issue, or other braking related problem. Please Help Diagnose.
This is for a GSR brake swap, all 4 corners onto a hatch.
Symptoms:
-constant squealing from driver front
-under braking its "chunky"
-during certain levels of braking it sounds like its on/off and clunky
Recently put on 4 new rotors and saw this pad wear
-Driver front -- even wear
-Pass front -- inner was worn more than outer (piston seal looks like crap)
-Driver rear -- inner was demolished, outer was fine (boot on piston looks like crap) also the metal clip on the bottom holding pads to bracket is having issues.
-Pass rear -- even wear
Things checked:
wiggled wheel and then hub to check for bearing problems
took off dust shields
visual inspection, only thing i've seen is ripped seal on caliper pistons.
Am I looking at frozen/freezing calipers? something else? Its starting to really annoy me, was hoping the new rotors and a fresh rebed would fix it, no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Possible Brake Caliper issue, or other braking related problem. Please Help Diagnose. (splitime
the integra and civic systems are a cross system diagonally so the rear pass is linked to the driver front. then the rear driver is linked to the pass front.
looks like you are having issues with one system kind of.. get it?
also did you align the peg on the back of the rear INNER pads? so that the peg is poking into the cross pattern indented on the rear caliper piston? if you didnt seat the inner pads backing plates peg into the cross pattern then you may get the inner rear pad to push one edge against the rotor and wear very awkwardly and also wear constanlty!
good luck!
