I bought the R1 Race concepts pads and discs about 5 months ago. I had my so called mechanic install them on my truck, and they were wonderful.
This weekend, I was coming back from a boy scout camporee, and heard the dreaded grinding of dead brakes.
I pulled them off, and saw that one pad was totally shot, outside, drivers side. The other three pads were nearly brand new. I was flummoxed. Obviously there was something sticking, somewhere, and it was likely the slides. I pulled them out, and though they were not dry, they were not likely lubed as well as I would have liked. I lubed them up with Anti-Seize, because it is rated to 1600 degrees, and put it all back together.
Has anyone else had issues with brake slides being sticky, and outside pads wearing?
