I've always found the rear wears more quicker. I always buy them in pairs but fit the front later. Am happy if i get more than 6000 out the rear and 8000 from the front

Fit the front now, it'll transform the steering.

I did about 1000 miles ago. I didn't have a problem then. Am still 99% sure the problem is the caliper sticking on as i said without the caliper attached the handling is back to normal.

Try lubricating the seals and pistons with some red rubber grease to see if it free's them off a little. Don't use ACF 50 like David, it'll fuck your seals up

No ACF in my garage. Ordered a service kit from Motorwork yesterday afternoon and the package arrive this morning. All fitted and my handling issues are gone, no dropping into corners. The brakes work perfectly. Does ACF swell the seals?
Thank you all for your comments.

Yes. ACF-50 isn't any form of lubricant. Glad you got it sorted
