Well I changed my brake pads about 10K miles ago and the outside pad on the driver front caliper is shot. I dont really know why that is the only one that shows any wear. Would there be a problem with the caliper making just that one pad wear down faster than the rest or wat?

I let my brother drive my car for a weekend and he brought it back and was like "I dont know whats wrong with your car but when I press the brakes there is a grinding sound." I inspected my brakes and found that he chewed up my driver front rotor pretty bad. I should prob just upgrade to drilled or slotted rotors in the front. I could get my rotors lathed for free but I figure that since Im putting bigger rims on my car I should have a little extra stopping power.

 

Sounds like a dead caliper

 

Ok. Guess I might as well upgrade to drilled rotors and just get a new caliper.

 

Don't waste your money on drilled rotors unless you simply want the look. They don't do anything to increase braking capabilities.

 

Well I found some gold cadmium plated drilled rotors on ebay for $65US with pads.

 

I've been told if you live where it gets really cold, like oh say i dont know CANADA they can crack lol. So idk if you want to have to go through with that if it happens either.

 

+1 on not getting slotted and drilled rotors.

yeah dont bother with slotted and drilled rotors, i bought some and wasted alil over 200 and they did **** for extra stopping power. its just for looks!!

 

Well I dont plan on driving my car in the winter anymore and I do have 18" rims to put on so those rotors will look better.

 

Yeeah true. And If your not driving it in the winter I don't see a problem with throwin a slotted/drilled pair on back. But some people argue its ust a waste of money.

 

if you want show do it. its your car lol but dont expect to get a faster stopping time.
