I just replaced my front pads (Wilwood) and almost too late!  I had looked at the left side of the car and the pads still had some life left on them.  But when I checked the right side, they were almost down to the rotor!
I was surprised to see such a difference in wear from the left set compared to the right set. 
Has anyone else experienced such a difference in wear?  Is this an indication of something wrong with my brakes?

The set on the left was on the left side of the car and the thinner set was from the right.
I road course race and most of this usage was with predominately more left hand turns than right hand turns.

Do you have a bias valve installed? If not and most turns are left, you have an issue. There could be variables and one of those would be how the lines to the front brakes are plumbed.

No Bias valve.
We do run more left turn and heavy braking a times.  Maybe it's just more wear because of that?
