BatteredBenz -- The master cylinder makes sense. Is there a way I can test if the M/S is the issue?

I don't know how you could easily measure to see if there is a difference. I saw your post on another thread about rear subframe suspension and a pulling in a direction other than straight forward when travelling at speed, so at this point I'd be inclined to get new pads and think about what other things or combination of things might be happening or not happening.
It seems like you didn't notice anything until the pads were toast so there wasn't much warning which would indicate the system was otherwise operational from a driving and braking stand point.
I wonder if something else could be causing something, ABS?
I know you take a serious interest with your car so it seems unlikely as two calipers or two hoses causing both brakes to stick so something in common is more likely.
If the brakes were dragging you'd think it would have been noticed as less mileage, if they were wearing away over 24K!
Could be just crappy pads that were not what you wear expecting, AutoZone pads I wouldn't be surprised, but you'd expect more than with decent parts.
