Re: [ST] [SPAM] Re: Rear brake pads knackered!

[Dave Bardell <bardelld@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happened to me.  Once with the stock pads and once with EBC, caught it 
before it ground into the rotor the second time.  Didn't think I used 
them much either.  Currently running Dunlo pads and have a set of 
Galfers standing by  when they go away.  Maybe the rear has a tendency 
to drag??? 

Getting ready to hook up my 'Busa brakes on the front.  Direct bolt on 
to the mounts, unfortunately the lines that were on them were a little 
short.

>>I noticed a grindy feeling coming from the rear on my ride home and discovered that the left rear pad was gone - no brake material left on the backing just the backing grinding lovingly into the rotor. Just replaced the rear pads in early spring so they couldn't have had more than 3-4K on them. Now my rotor is shot. About $200 for a replacement.
