RS6 Pads wearing uneven ...

Post by viperbl » Mon Jan 22, 2007 9:46 pm

Is this normal guys??

I just changed the pads, if looking at the top (back) of the Calliper, the top right hand pad (on boths sides) has worn a lot quicker than the other pads ...

See attached picture, although not maybe as clear as I would like ...

The leading edge normally wears more than the rest. A number of caliper manufactures have smaller pistons at the front of the caliper to reduce this effect.

If you are refering to the fact the inner pad has worn more it is because they get more heat into them. Fitting the Phaeton ducts will help this.
