Sticky/seized calliper/sliders causing uneven wear?

The pad doesnt seem to have been contacting the disk properly. Are they both like that?

I don't think the disks are the root cause of the issue. I suggest having a look at your callipers......

I'm no expert though...

if they are in regular use i think you have a problem with you calipers. id make sure they all move freely.
the discs might be ok if you have them skimed up but for the cost prob easier to just replace them.

Did you fit new pads with the new discs ?

Stupid question perhaps but some people will re-use pads that aren't worn out

Thanks for the advice, I'll take a look at the calipers. I'll see after that if the discs are still any good, but I suspect they won't be.

The discs themselves look perfectly serviceable, just a little under-used! Are you the master of coasting to a stop at junctions without using the brakes?

What disks and pads are they? Recent fluid change? Whats the sudden stop braking performance like?

Good username btw, certainly wish I had that plate!
