Chris Wilson Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The caliper slider pins are probably seized up. The disc may be *uggered, as may be the pads, so check them out, too, they don't like getting mad hot with no interim cooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to my Jspec brakes, dry caliper slider, we lubed it up and it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 This rear caliper issue is becoming more and more common as these cars get older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
