So, if the 1LE calipers have different size caliper pistons with the smaller at the top and a larger on the bottom, there's your tapered wear. Normal street braking probably wouldn't show a taper, but the heavy repeated track braking would show the taper.
Thanks a lot for the explanation! Didn’t know that they were different sizes. That makes a lot of sense. My mechanic just told me that also the piston seals are a bit cooked, causing the pistons to stand out slightly. Has anyone changed the seals for the 1LE J6M brakes? I can’t find a part number so far.. thanks!
