I have had some trouble with my rear brakes lately. I have been hearing a grinding noise from the rear for a few weeks (before I had a chance to look at them). I finally had some time and bought some cheap rear pads waiting on my KVR's to arrive (thanks RR-Racing), my rear pads on the drivers side were warn down to the metal and at least 2mm were gone from the inside surface of the rotor.
I decided that it would be best to go ahead and change pads on both sides just to be consistant, I bled then entire system (front and rear).
Now when I engage the parking brake it has no resistance and I can pull it all the way up. I checked to see if the parking brake is attached and it was connected in all locations but when my fiance pulled the e-brake up while I checked underneath the car the passenger side brake is seized up and will not move, therefore I have no parking brake right now becuase I am still waiting on rotors for the rear because of the driver side been fudged up.
Any thoughts? My first thought is to just go AutoZone and get a remani and swap them out.
Thanks
