91 CRX with Hawk HT-10 pads up front and DTC-30 rear on DA integra trailing arms with blank brembo rotors f & r. This is after a 4 session day at Laguna Seca. Im wondering if this wear pattern could be associated with bad wheel bearings? I started getting brake pad knock back on the last session and when I got home I checked for wheel bearing play and there’s a noticeable amount on the front driver side. Passenger side seems fine for now but both will be replaced. Would also like to know if these look glazed. Apart from the knock back in the last session, there was no brake fade throughout the day. Any input is appreciated, thank you.

These are the driver side





These are the passenger side

 

Your CV boot looks pretty unhappy.

Brakes look pretty normal. Looks like maybe some hard spots have developed on that second rotor.

Yea they’re aftermarket axles. I assume it’s the wrong size boot or just bad quality. Appreciate the response, I’ll check out that passenger side more once I get home.

 

Those look like the small rotors and calipers. Does your class allow big brake swaps?

Looks like you put a good amount of heat into the brakes and might benefit from larger brakes.

 

I was looking into the 11” Wilwood 4 pot kit once I finish off these brake pads (if you have any opinions about that kit let me know). I have also looked into doing the DA knuckle swap but I’d have to press out my extended ball joints for that and I don’t really want to risk damaging them somehow. I also read a couple forums about upgrading the rears. I think it was with the rsx calipers and rotors. Since these pads still have a decent amount of life left I was planning on running some ducting to them via some “intake duct” bumper lights. I have air guides but I’m 99% sure they’ll get ripped off if I use them up front 😂
