No they were worn in a slope as you look at it at the side. About 2 mm more one one side then the other. Bear in mind I've also found out both front discs were warped slightly too.

Thats very strange..... when i changed mine all 4 were identical, perfectly flat....
Due to the design of the caliper i can't think how they wear on a slope... were all 4 the same??

Easy job to do?

Not done it to a CTR or any car for several years, but all you need is a kit of new seals, take it apart make sure it all clean and there no corrosion on any moving parts then rebuild with the new seals. But imo if this is required on your car then it should be covered under warrenty....
EDIT: the noises you're hearing may just be the new pads on used discs and should go away as they wear in. But the uneven wear on the original pads sounds odd.... maybe just see how it goes for a few hundred miles...
