Wilwood fronts wearing uneven
Friday, December 19, 2008 12:08 PM
Has anyone else had this problem? I noticed it today, that my drivers side outboard pad is almost gone while the inboard pad and the passenger side look great still. I figure its time for a caliper rebuild, and new pads. I ordered all the parts from Wilwood today and should have them Wednesday hopefully.

actually it was cheaper then if i was doing the same thing to stock brakes. The only thing i am not replacing/rebuilding is the rotor. its more expensize then a stock one. but the pads are under 50 and each rebuild kit is like 6 bucks..ordered straight from wilwood. the pads alone from jegs or summit are around 109ish.

Ya pads are only 79 bux for an axel set. And yes i have the same problem with my wilwood kit!! Dont know why either. But all i know is the pads/rotors lasted me 70k miles Im on my 2nd set of pads/rotors.
