They look like the HQ ones that I have from that photo but would need a look at the slides or back of the calliper. The HZ ones I had looked different from yours, but there is a chance that they might not have been what I thought they were.
I spoke to Howard at Race Brakes Melbourne and showed him what I had and he told me that they can stick and they do wear one pad more than the other as you say.
I run the HQ calliper on the front with the standard rotor on my XY and they worked fine on track for that chassis, (standard road car)

I am glad you have not had any issues with yours and are happy with them.
At the end of the day thats al that counts.

I only went with these as I stated before because I had them.
There is defiantly a improvement with the bigger brakes now and the more I drive it now the more awesome I think they are.
Its a little hard to test them out on the road properly with out drawing attention from the cops or have some one run over me.

Hi Ross, the photo is the actual front end when it was built, it says chassis no.1, so first of the round tubes with a full custom front end set up.
No jag in that front end, from what i can gather, its a commy vk rack, possibly a HZ spindle, VK disc and full custom wishbones with aladin shocks
and what i thought was a HZ caliper, the HZ came out with 2 different calipers, a pbr one and the Girlock.
but they could be HQ.
The calipers are polished, so hard to see any part no.s on them.
But i think they are the girlocks
