I found a frozen/seized caliper guide pin on mine (Gen II's are a little different). It was causing one pad to wear, while the other side was doing nothing. As I found out, lubing the pins is EXTREMELY important.

Oops, I read this a day too late. Just did my front pads and this didn't even enter my mind. Vehicle only has about 60K on it, so hope it's not too critical at this point.Tips: On ABS vehicles, don't push the calipers back in with the bleed screws closed. The fluid in the calipers is the source of dirty fluid, which can ruin the ABS pump. Always open those bleed screws while compressing the pistons.
