So finally got around to pulling my brakes off last night, for some strange reason it was only my rear left that had worn out, to the stage that the pad had fallen out and was just caught on the rotor, sitting on the guard at teh bottom, this rotor is absoutley farked, anybody have any idea's as to why only one corner would have worn out, the other side had heaps left and the rotor was like double the thickness !
-
A (production) racecar I once worked with had a pad separate from its backing plate, which well and truly stuffed one disc, leaving the others fine.
Maybe that's what happened?

Could of been, I think this side still had more wear due to the face both pads were worn out, even the one still in the caliper, seized caliper maybe >
Will both rotor's have to be replaced or is it possible to only replace the one that is worn

Replace them both mate otherwise they will be worn differently. No point cutting corners in the brakes department.
