Default Brake issue

Recently I replaced the original pads and rotors on the teg, they were replaced with Cobalt GT's and vatozone rotors. After putting a few miles on them I'm noticing that the contact patch on the passenger side is not as much as the ds. The rotor on the pass. side has about an inch of rust all the way around the hub... The ds is maybe a 1/4 inch.. Anyone have this problem?

The slide pins were greased and the piston seemed to be working fine. I have taken it back apart and flopped the pads and its still doing it. I'm thinking possible caliper. Just wanted to see if someone else has had this problem.

I'll get some pics tonight.

Sup walker. I finally made it down to Sonics a few months ago. Good stuff!

An inch of rust on the RF seems pretty thick to me. Maybe because the contact was never there so it rusted? Dunno much else to say about your problem, but I just wanted to say hi.

yeah, it is rusting because the pad isn't touching the rotor.. sounds like the caliper piston in that caliper isn't moving evening.. Easy fix - rebuild caliper or replace with a reman'd unit from autozone..
