yeah that's exactly what happened... Got new rotors and pads put on yesterday and both the inside pads were gone completely- just metal left... The outside pads had about 5% left. I let it go WAY too long- won't ever make that mistake again.

Regardless of what pads you have- I didn't have the stock Brembo pads- they were project MU pads I think? The inside wear much faster then the outside. So never go off of what you can see just based on the outside pad- get in there and look at the inner pad.

Did you get a rock stuck in the rotor?

nope- the inside pad (the one you can't see unless you get under the car or take the wheel off) had shattered and there was nothing left but metal on metal.
