Try a rebuilt caliper on that side? Check the mount as well. If the aluminum caliper is spread, I think it would be cracked or show signs of wear. I just cant see aluminum forged calipers bending. Not that its impossible, Nope, they spread without any visible signs I don't have one off the car or I could do some measurements. Read the rest of the thread - yea, the bad anti-rattle plate messd up the pad alignment. I don't use them anyway I know the fronts can spread, but can enough heat be generated in the rear? It takes a lot of constant heat to spread these. I know it is possible, but mostly in the fronts, they handle 70% of the stopping force. Hence, 70% of the temperature!

Two reasons, the quality of some rotors was sub-standard (especially Chinese produced ones), and secondly the on-car lathe matches the cut to the hub and its wobbles. And this is why I only buy NAPA Made in the USA rotors. I have NEVER had a problem with these.

Randy at DRMsaid yes the rearas can get enough heat, especially if you throw a bias spring which throws more bias to the back, and you road race. Auto Cross and drag racing, nope. Canyon running maybe. Funny thing on the C5 fronts people run. They ar finding those spreading and recommending using the C6 calipers. NOT ZO6 calipers from the C6 as they are not so good.
