Gen2 brake pads wearing unevenly…help

You have a pad or piston hanging up and not letting the pad off the rotor surface. Brake fluid if left un changed for too long can draw in water and cause corrosion in the caliper that causes this. the other possibility is that when you ground whatever down you damaged something.

Well I had the brake fluid checked with a meter when we did the brakes.

Maybe time to rebuild the calipers…

Change or rebuild your calipers. Sounds like it is sticking. If it was sticking, you should have noticed or smelled something unusual after driving.

Grind something off the Calipers? That does not sound right? As others have said, sounds like you need to service the calipers.

Are you mechanically minded, or would you have a Garage perform the work? At the end of the day its a Brembo Caliper (presuming your calipers are stock?)

Checking the fluid in the reservoir does not tell you anything about the condition of the fluid in the lines and in the calipers, just saying.

I put new pads and rotors on my car in March. Stop tech slotted rotors from rock auto and Hawk HPS pads. One of my front pads is almost gone while the other has more than half left.

I do remember that when they installed my brakes they had to grind something off my calipers to get the rotors to fit. If this means anything.
