Default Re: Uneven brake pad wear

I started the back brakes. Interesting that these pads show a taper too, even though the rear is single piston. It’s just barely visible.



The top in this picture is the leading edge.

These pads look just destroyed. Anyone thinking about buying Raybestes pads. I suggest don’t.

Nice Photos and thanks for Posting

That is MOST Interesting that both Pistons In the Stock Dual Piston Front Capliper are the Same Size

That would then explain the issue as you found in the BMW link related to the Moment requiring a larger Following Piston as a Remedy. I checked my C5 Z06 Calipers and the Following Piston is Larger Diameter



WOW
Another Reason to Convert to C5 Z06 Calipers.
