UUC BBK - Uneven Pad Wear

[Brandon12V]

grab an extra guy and bleed both front brakes in separate jars. see if both are getting the same amount of fluid by the same number of pedal pumps. i would attempt this three separate times and see if the average amount is consistent, and even, between the two. just a thought. it would at least rule out the amount of fluid being bias between the two fronts.

I'd guess the bias valve is hooked up wrong, and you're biasing the front circuit instead of only front to back.

A definite possibility... I will check it out :up:

I noticed that I would lock the right front first on my old track car. After I deleted the ABS unit I had even pressure to the fronts.

Interesting. You removed the unit completely? At the moment mine's disabled but flowing fluid...

Calipers upside down?

That is an excellent question, however, they are not.

Approximately three months ago I installed UUC's E30 BBK. With this kit I am running:

• Hawk DTC 30 pads at the front
• Stock rear calipers
• Hawk HP+ pads at the rear
• SS lines
• Summit Racing bias valve set the 60% front (the maximum setting, had this prior to the BBK install)

I was doing some routine work on the car and found that the passenger-side pads have 40-50% more wear than the driver-side. I didn't have uneven wear prior to the BBK install.

The strange thing is that the car does not pull to the passenger side under light, medium or hard braking. However, when I was bedding the pads after the BBK install, the front right locked up (a few months before the BBK install the light on the dash came on. I disabled the ABS).

Your thoughts / insight / advice is appreciated.
