Brake advice
I've just put new ps cryos on the front of my 2000 psd X and found that the right rear disc had some scoring due to a worn-to-the-rivet inside pad. What would cause one side to be worn down and the other side (left) ok? Bad caliper? Anyway, the scoring isn't too deep. Should I keep the same rotors on the rear (I really don't want to spend another $400+), should they be turned, and can I use a good Bendix pad on them, whether I change them or not (I put Hawks on the front). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sometimes calipers cause uneven wear, sometimes they just wear unevenly. I would try to turn the calipers first, see if they have enough metal left (have them mic'd), if they don't then you will have to repalce them. I would use the best pads you can, I always use cermix to avoid squeeking. The front brakes do most of the work.

Thanks Elder. That's kind of what I figured. I know if there's not much left on the rotor they're more apt to warp, but seeing as how the rears aren't put under as much strain as the fronts, I'm hoping turning it will suffice (with new ceramics).
