Everytime you change pads you should be relubing the guide pins and if you haven't replaced them, order up some new ones from Honda. I like using ATE Plastilube. I haven't had any issues with my rear pads. I need to order up a bottle of that Mothers. After Memphis this weekend, I have a month until NOLA, so I might as well wash it and drive it on the street I guess.

You're gonna love that Mother's R3 stuff, man. It makes taking off race rubber a joke.

My front calipers look like that too, except worse because they're red... lol. I don't bother cleaning wheels either. I painted them with brake dust...
as for your rears, you need this

Or, at the very least, go with these and some fresh rebuilt OEM rear calipers.

Hey bud, I was experiencing the same thing as you with the uneven brake pad wear in the rear. It happens when the slide pins wear out the inside of the caliper bracket, and the piston doesn't compress as evenly as it did before. I ended up buying remanufactured calipers for all four corners (fronts did it too) and that's fixed the problem entirely.

Ok so I relubed my caliper slide pins tonight, heres the pics and a general breakdown. This was several beers in btw. You're lucky I could hold the camera steady enough (I'm japanese, three beers and I'm drunk.)
Look at this nappy ass ho sticking her head out, shiieeetttttt.
Wow, these look worse than a prostitute's cooter after a Friday night.
took a wire wheel to them. Yep, it's shitty.
Assemble tools, aka 'khaki call' for all of you navy folk.
Lubed up like you're going into Wrecky's mom.
I later found out this was wayyy too much f@#king grease haha.
All buttoned up. Aw shit I forgot the dust shield.

LOL @ khaki call.
If your calipers are sticking, it usually means it's time for a rebuild. Personally, I would buy reman'd calipers and keep your old ones as "working spares" just in case. Doing that actually saved my buddy's ass, who's caliper failed at the track.

Thanks man, I'll be posting up more videos throughout the season, and I plan on doing a running blog as I transform this car into a H1 car during the winter. Hopefully, I won't disappoint, haha.
Thanks for the tips bb. I'll look into the rebuilt calipers. I'm running Summit Point this weekend so I'll see how the pad wear plays out.

I really like seeing maintenance write ups for cars. It really shows how well people take care of their cars! I too have had uneven wear in the rear and just figured it was somewhat normal for a single piston design. I have two rebuild kits for the rear calipers that I plan on doing here shortly so I'll be curious to see how they operate afterwards. Car looks really good too after the wash, I'll have to look into getting some of that Mother's product as I spent a lot of time trying to get rid of tire marks on my car recently.

Regarding the rear brakes, I haven't noticed any bad wear yet, but my car only has ~47k miles on it which probably helps, and I've relubed the pins once. What vacuum pump do you use for bleeding/flushing your brakes?
