[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 898901, member: 6354"] Caliper seals need replacing. They're not allowing the pistons to relax weill enough. I kept putting it off and putting it off, and when the last set of front pads didn't even go 20,000 miles I decided I couldn't put it off any longer. It's not inexpensive, you need four kits (2 of each part number,) and it'll be somewhere between 100 and 130 bucks. Then you have to get the pistons out, clean them, change the seals, reassemble and bleed. I say not inexpensive, even though that's not safe-deposit-box money, but it's an awful lot for 16 rubber rings. [/QUOTE]
