Default Rear brake issue

Any of you guys have this issue? year 2000 AP1, no accidents, etc.
At low speeds, I hear the left rear brake pads slightly hitting the rotor.
not noticeable on the freeway, etc.

I noticed that the left rear brake pad is slightly more worn than the right rear.
I swapped the brake lines to the stainless steel, so the lines should be good..
After i get back from my daily drive, the temps are:
Front L: 100F
Front R: 100F
Rear R: 150F
Rear L: 170F
(I have brake ducts in the front)

Also, under full braking on track, my car pulls a little to the right.
Since I have a life time alignment warranty, I have the alignment at factory specs..
When i get a full coilover, ill get corner balancing done, but until then, anything i can do?
thanks in advance guys!

Check caliper bracket slide pins to make sure they are freely lubed and moving, if calipers/brakes aren't the issue I would suggest looking into your suspension bushings and making sure there is no play or torn bushings

Lubricate the slide pins.

there is a + on the rear caliper that needs to be lined up with the notch on the brake pad. if it's not lined up you'll have a hard time setting that pad all the way back with new pads (probably about 1/8"). check that out
