I inspected my brake pads today and noticed my rear pads are wearing unevenly. Specifically on both sides the inside pad seems to be much more worn than the outside. On the rear-left corner I have almost 3x as much material left on the outside pad vs. the inside. :shock: Any idea what might be wrong, and how to correct it?

About the only thing I can think of is a long shot: Maybe (i.e. If you have changed your brake lines) something got clogged internally in the caliper and is restricting flow of fluid to the outter piston.

But like I said it's a long shot.

I just replaced mine friday night and had the same thing.... rear inner pad was gone and the outer pad was 50%.

Spoke with Navid (who co-drove Joe250's ESP Evo last season) and he said they had the same issue in Joe's car. He believes it's due to the inner pad heating up more than the outer.

I have the same problem. Worse, after a full season of autoX, my rotors are just about spent.

I also noticed the same wear pattern to a lesser degree on the front as well.
