Uneven rear brake wear on inner vs outer pads
My rear brakes were worn and replaced with Centric Posi-Quiet Pads and Centric Premium Rotors.
Outer pads were down to 1/16" whereas inner were down to 1/4". This was the case on both rear wheels.
I am wondering if this is normal or there is a problem. I was expecting them to wear evenly.
Our cars have dual pistons and do not have caliper pins. It can't be caliper pin sticking.
Theoretically pistons could be sticking but hard do believe that they are sticking exactly same way on both wheels.
I am thinking maybe alignment.
Any thoughts or anyone else had similar experience?

I just got the car last month. I rarely open the sunroof and haven't opened it since I got the car. I don't know what the previous owner did but odds are he didn't use it either.
I am curious about connection between sunroof and uneven brake wear.
