brake problem
Ok, changed my brakes(pad and rotors) with EBC i guess a year ago. A few months ago i started getting a plusation at around 60-70 and a low speeds(like 10 and less when comming to a stop). SO i finally get off my lazy butt this weekend and pull the wheels off to look at the brakes. Took the calipers off all 4 corners. Fronts no problems, wearing well, everything even. Lube the slides with some anti seize.
The back is a diffrent story. passenger side, everything is cool, so i just put it bad together. Driverside, the inside pad is warn at an angle(front of the pad has more pad than the back), wear is so bad its hitting the backing plate on the rear of the pad. the outside pad looks like almost no wear. That little metal thing in the top of the calipar is shifted. IM hoping that is what the problem is. but im fearing that the caliper itself is messed up and needs to be replaced. kinda fearing the latter. might get some cheep pads this weekend so i dont mess up the rotor. Any input, thanks in advance

Bolts seems fine, no diffrance from on to the other.
Rotors are deffentally warped, but I cant turn them cause they are slotted and cross drilled. But im only haveing a problem with one caliper.

I don't see why they couldn't be turned. You might go through a few cutting blades, but it is possible.

Why can't you turn them just because they are slotted and drilled????

BUT the rotors are not the reason ONE set of pads is messed up. IM sure it has something to do with it, but it deffentally itsnt the sole reason.
