[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1447288, member: 19880"] Front has FOUR pads each side for a total of eight in front and two pads in rear. Not sure which ones you mean. The lower pad pair on the right is actuated by the rear brake (linked brake) so that can wear more (or less) depending on how much you use the rear brake. If an inner or outer pad wears a lot faster or vice versa, it can mean that pistons/seals are dirty and are not retracting fully although some differences are normal and expected. I often swap inner and outer pads at tire change time (and partially extend and clean sides of pistons). I have been known to replace one or two pads instead of a "set" of eight. I am fairly easy on brakes and find I get 60-80,000 miles... If two pads are that worn in 10,000 miles and you haven't been running at a track, I think that bears further investigation. [/QUOTE]
