well he didnt say if it was the inboard, or outboard pad that was wearing faster, just overall. i would have to think degrading/kinked hose, or maybe a sticking e-brake setup...

dont know how true this is but i heard if you dont relieve the pressure out of the resovior and leave off the cap to it . when compressing one caliper and putting it together when your finished with that side when u go to compress the other side it can put pressure back into the caliper that was already done cause the pads to stick to the rotor.

did u bleed them right as well?

except most all newer cars have the X system... so when compressing the RR, your putting pressure on the LF, vice versa.

and its best to leave the cap on! the less availability for any water [vapor] to be introduced to the brake fluid. if there is excess fluid, it will just purge out from the cap, you'll see a little puddle. make sure to spray brake cleaner wherever the fluid went tho. it will...WILL melt plastic stuff.
