Abnormal Brake Pad Wear?

Hi,

My pads in the front are indicating 3000 miles remaining, but the top and bottom of the pad appear to not be making contact with the rotor. Almost like they're curled up a bit? The rears sit totally flush and have a lot more meat on them, but I'm about to go in for a fluid flush, and wondering if I should just swap out the front pads or wait a bit longer. Hopefully you can see from these pics, thanks!

They have a lot of pad depth left, the "curled up" bit is actually a chamfer on the pad that extends to about half the pad depth, you can see it on these new pads: https://c1552172.ssl.cf0.rackcdn.com/964113_x800.webp

The pad remaining calculation on some F22s was somewhat out on earlier software releases, I believe that recent updates have fixed that. Don't worry about pad replacement until the sensor for low brake pad thickness triggers.
