Installed Dice MediaBridge. Going to take some getting used to for the controls. Dissappointed it won't accept my zune through the USB. What to do, I am so anti apple I can't even tell you. Guess I will buy a 64gb USB stick and see how that works out.
Been trying to change all 4 rotors and pads for the last two days. JUST when I THINK I have the time, son wants help with homework, kids need dinner (wife working late) or the dogs needs a walk - arrrgh
Finished the front tonight, rear rotors and pads tomorrow (hopefully)
A word of caution, DO NOT check Pad wear with Wheel ON, Here is what the pads looked like when I looked with the wheel ON:
turns out they were FAR worse:
INNER SIDE (not visible with wheel and rotor on)
According to our Home weighing machine, The Centrics are 2.4 pounds (fronts) heavier than Stock OEMs - Dont know how much of that is down to wear, my rotors have a clear lip and needed replacement.

I just did my brakes all around too and my rears were very low. Similar to your inners and both inner and outer pads were equally worn.
You have such disparity there it makes me wonder if someone just replaced the outer pads. Why I don't know someone would do this.
Could it be both rears have sticky pistons??? I guess so.
Fix would be rebuilding the calipers. Kit can be bought from the stealer and shouldn't take more than a hour or two.

I think one of the pictures may have been misleading. The pad comparison photo is of a new and worn pad.
Sorry about the mix up - There IS a SMALL difference between the outer and inner pad but nothing alarming.
