Default left pads worn completely, right pads have plenty meat

Just did the brakes on my 94 non abs ej1. and the driver side was completely worn out but passenger side looked almost new. the calipers are new autozone calipers, I guess remanufactured. I am running an ITR brake booster and master cylinder and GSR rear discs. goodridge SS lines. is this a prop valve problem.

BTW the reason I have new calipers is because the old ones did the same EXACT thing.

Does the car pull to the left when you brake?

it did with the old calipers, but now it stays straight under hard braking.

Well, with uneven pad wear generally comes pulling. Is the pad wear still uneven, even after you have changed the calipers?

Do you have SS lines in place of the hardlines or the hoses?

brake line might be swelling and it not allowing the caliper tp release fully
