Ok, so having replaced my front discs for the third time I can notice that the rotors is being warped again. I have only driven 250 miles with my new set and I can now feel that they (or maybe just one of them) are slightly warped. I replaced the new discs with OEM toyota discs and EBC greenstuff pads. I have noticed that the right disc is much warmer that the left one. Ok, so I thought that the caliper is stuck somehow. I have overhauled all four calipers about 6 months ago. Today I took out the caliper and both sylinders, all seems fine and the slide without any prob. I can push them into the caliper body with just my fingers! I tried a testrun without no braking at all and I can say for sure that the right disk are warm (let's say about 115F), so the caliper are not retreating fully? Not working 100%? I have no more ideas, I really hope someone can help me. I am getting really frustrated
Edit: Oh, I've been really careful when braking. This post has been edited by eliaz: Jun 4, 2006 - 7:01 AM -------------------- |

I can't say I am having all that much luck with toyota's brakes either. I got my brakes checked about 6 months after I got my car and the dealership said I had 3/4 of my pads left. Mind you they had been squeeling so I thought it was the brake wear indicator, but they said it was just aftermarket pads. Well sure enough a few months later I go in again and they say all my brakes are ruined (I drive an st for christs sake). So 500 dollars later I had new yota oem brakes. That was in december and yesterday I noticed my brakes were squeeling slightly
