Rear bRAKES 700 1989

I don't think it really had anything to do with cheapo hard pads in a year and a half. If you used pads that wore out (and therefore moved) in a year and a half you'd be unhappy they wore out that fast! The stock pads are good enough to last 100K unless you had one of the new cars with traction control (I've seen THEM wear out in 20K miles if you have a lead foot :>) and that is certainly more than a year and a half (Sorry Irv!)

Sounds more like old corroded hardware was reused and the pads not lubricated on the side or there was rust in the caliper that all added up to frozen pads in the year and a half after you had the pads put in.
