The outside pad, where the sensor is, had not yet even worn down to the sensor, this no indication in the car that anything was wrong. Had I not heard and then looked, or were my girl using the car, for some extremely unlikely reason, it would have been driven like that for some time. Likely doing some damage.

I’d love to understand how one pad on the inside of the rotor wore so much faster than the one on the outside.

I’m going to order drilled and/or slotted rotors and more new pads nevertheless.
Let me know if you find slotted rotors for a good price. While drilled and slotted looks amazing drilled Long letterman will have a shorter life than just doing the slotted or blanks... slotted is a happy medium for me.
