Pad taper

[mdude58]

Curious to hear from those who have replaced brake pads. I just replaced my stockers and have top to bottom taper on the inner pads at each wheel. All outers show even wear. Caliper pins move easily, maybe the upper pin at the left rear a little too much. This is at 22.5k miles, 1 autocross and 2 track days. What have you all seen?

How much taper are you talking?

.030" on the rears, .130-.140" on the fronts. Max allowable according to the manual is .060"/1.5mm. There was still some meat on them, say 3mm minimum. I just changed them for an upcoming track day.

I don't think I'd be worried about 3mm taper. Let me see if I can find some old pads.

Thanks. I was was getting a slight pull and higher pedal effort, but that went away with the new pads (Mountune street).

i had to buy new pinsfor it. it was the rear caliper and it was giving me the sound of worn out pads. (pad ended up being glazed over)
