put new pads in yesterday, just normal standard replacements, drivers side pads were a few mm lower than the passenger and when i bedded the new ones in (2 stops from 40, short drive to cool them down then the same again, were fine after that), the drivers side started smoking whilst the passenger side was fine, piston was also stiffer in the drivers side caliper which explains it but the car pulls up straight, if you jump on the brakes they both lock up at the same time and function just like normal brakes but obviously there is a problem there, is it worth the bother of trying to free it up or should i just leave it while its working? obviously i dont want dodgy brakes but they dont bind at all and function exactly as they should do.
BTW, how does everyone else bed in brake pads? remember reading that i think it was Hi-Spec say to go out and brake hard a few times and there done but dont most say to bed them in for a while without hard braking? i decided to take the first option, once the brake fade went they were fine and today they are working just like they used to so its obviously worked fine. felt terrible when they first went in, was like there was no friction there, 20 minutes later they felt great again and work just like the old ones did.
