[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462751, member: 19880"] If I have a thinner pad, I swap it with a thicker one. No particular formula. I don't go nuts over it but probably end out extending lifetime by 25% or so. As mentioned, the lower right piston pair wears more slowly for me as I don't use a lot of back brake (linked to the lower front right). If one (or more) of the other pads is wearing dramatically faster, you may have an issue with a dirty slider or a dirty piston. I make a point of cleaning and silicone grease on the slider pins annually. At the same time, I thoroughly clean the calipers and extend the pistons to clean the sides of them up with a soft cloth. (Just don't extend them too far.) I clean the "Support pad" spring as well before reassembly. Tire changing time is ideal for this stuff since the calipers are off anyway. [/QUOTE]
