VXR Brake disks uneven wear
Discussion
Hi,
On my 04 VXR Started getting some rougher sounding noises when braking and suspected pads getting low.
A quick check an pads on outside face of front disks look fine, and hardly any wear to disk. However, when checking inside face the pads are low and there is noticeable wear and quite a lip on the edge of the disks. This is true for both sides.
I've checked and the calipers seem to be moving freely on the pins. Has anybody else seen wear like this? All I can think of is it's a result of mainly light breaking and the design of the brakes/single sided piston?
Replaced all the disks a couple of years ago with DBA ones, and not done a huge amount of miles either.

The only thing I experience is that the inner side of discs rust up more if car is not used often, and this I presume will wear pads more due to rubbing off the rust. If you use yours more regular than I do, and the caliper sliders are free , then sorry I cannot help, hoepfully some one will help you shortly.

The inside on pretty much every car seems to wear a lot more than the outer face. It's odd, but perfectly normalOn my 04 VXR Started getting some rougher sounding noises when braking and suspected pads getting low.
