brakes shot in 5k

i put new rotors and pads brembo blanks and oem pads on 5k ago and cleaned and greased all hardware and ive noticed that the rear driver side put out much more brake dust than the others. well today when cleaning i felt the wheel was really warm and looked at the pads and their shot! but all the others look like day 1....... something must be hanging up somewhere. but i cant feel anything when i drive???

rear caliper is seized up. It happens. YOu need to either get it rebuilt or get a new one - both options are fairly inexpensive (under $50 probably)

I just had a rear caliper replaced, like $85 after core trade-in from Advance Autoparts...

Same problem here. I had to replace my brakes and noticed the drivers rear was worn more than the others. I was hoping that maybe the pad wasn't lined up with the hole when they put the pads in. What really sux is that I painted the calipers so now I have to buy a paint kit again for just one caliper?? Who rebuilds them ?? can I have my painted one rebuilt??
