I changed my rotors and pads with premium drilled rotors and hawk pads not too long ago. Its been a good couple of years since I changed them so thought it was time. I had OEM blanks with EBC green stuff pads. The rotors werent warped and were in good shape. However, I noticed that the pads had uneven wear on them. The drivers side had more wear than the left. Would a bad caliper cause this or could it be something else?

i don't belive so-... the way our calipers are set up the inner-most part does the majority of the pushing and the opposite side kind of acts as a backing. so the force applied to one side will be greater than the outer-most side.
