Tanks to Pete Chadwell and Don Sforza for providing info on brake pads,
both suggested Repco pads (Metalmaster or Semi-metallic). I could not
get Repcos locally so I opted for PBR MetalMaster pads (made in
Australia).
One thing I noticed is that my driver side pads were worn way more than
the pass side. Any ideas on what could cause this?
Prior to changing the pads I had the rotors turned and found that the
driver side rotor had a groove in it and the pad a corresponding ridge
(I assume remnants of a rock getting caught in there some time ago?).
This groove/ridge combo is what I suspect caused the pulling to the
driver side under hard braking I was experiencing recently. But I don't
know if it could also account for the greater wear of the driver side
pads. I am looking for the usual causes of this uneven wear - anyone
have ideas?
