Default Has it occured to any of you that at lesat one of the inside brake pads wear faster than
the outside ones??

It's not the first time it's happened (different sets of brake pads), and occured to both front and rear.

332mm Stoptechs with Axxis Ultimate pads (front)
Duralast (autozone lifetime warranty) for the rear with S8 rotors upgrade.

My 4 on my AP setup never wear completely evenly. Sometimes it's worse than others.

pistons are on the inside, inner pad absorbs force from outer pad through caliper. (floating.)
