    wearing inner pads on front brakes - new slide pins? What kind of caliper

    For starters, when I look on bavauto's site, the slide pins that I have look exactly like what they are referring to as Girling's brand of caliper. How do I confirm?

    Also the inner pads are wearing way faster. The slide pins have side to side play in the caliper mounting bracket. Is the mounting bracket toast or are the slide pins shot? With the new rotors and pads in place, an some nice new slide pin lube, the brakes do twist when pressure is applied. That is what has likely caused the poor inside wear. Any thoughts on what I need to replace?

    WOW - Caliper brackets are $180 per side!! That is crazy. The pins are $26 per side. Should I just put pins in and hope that takes up the play? Is it usually the pin that wears or the inside of the bracket?

      Best way to do a girling check. Its stamped into the caliper. So on the outer part aka by the inner rim barrel it says girling.
      I say you just have some shitty caliper pins. They need to be greased when you change pads.
