I changed my front brakes over the weekend, I usually change the front every summer, so about 20K miles, and just did the rear a few weeks ago after 110K miles. My driver side pads were toasted, and the passenger side were almost new, so obviously the driver side is doing all the braking. I am very unhappy with the brakes on the car (2000 Prizm) so my plan is in a few weeks I plan to put Cross-drilled rotors on, with Raybestos Ceramic pads. I'd love to find a set of upgrade calipers, since I want to replace them anyways. Does anyone make better calipers for the 98-02 corolla/prizm?

so your rear brakes are only wearing on the driver side? umm are the drum or disc, not that it matters... sounds like you need to replace the caliper or break cylinder. Because they should wear pretty even.

front brakes are wearing uneven, rears are drums, I did those a few weeks ago. I agree, i think I need a new caliper. that's why I'm wondering, does anyone make aftermarket nicer calipers for the 98-02. If not I'll buy a new stock one, but since I have to buy one, i might as well buy as nice a pair as I can
