Rear brake advice

Hello all

my pass side rear rotor is not wearing correctly, the upper half of the rotor is wearing correctly, the lower half still has the original coating (there power slots + Hawk HPS pads).

I have put 1100 miles since doing the brakes and upgrading the front to Z06's. I have rebled the system, and the braking feels normal. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Start by lubricating the guides that the caliper ride on.

If that does not correct it, I would think the caliper has spread.

what do you recommend for lube? Thanks for the quick response. Will driving on that do damage?

I just use high temp grease. Make sure when you push them in the "pop" back up a little, and that they slide freely.

I don't think you are going to hurt anything but your brake pads by driving it, but I would fix it ASAP before your pads get too tapered.
