I would have never chosen this clutch but it came with the car so i ran it.

Here's why you don't use one of these clutches if you make power. :D

I'm more curious as to why only 3 of 8 pads are worn.

Also here's an excerpt from Wiseman on here whom I asked about this clutch couple years ago:
"I think its a great pressure plate. Like stock pedal feel & was able to hold my 410 whp/353 ft/lbs daily tune no problem. They rate the setup as 375 ft/lbs crank torque, which you should be able to see no problem without issues.

I swapped that setup out because at the track with DR's that didn't slip I could smell clutch after each run, though it did never actually slip on me. At the track I was making atleast 375 ft/lbs at the wheels, so not bad considering their rated for that torque level at the crank. Since I'm now awd & power will just be going up, I felt it was time to upgrade since I was already in their.

When I did pull the old clutch, to my surprise the disk easily had 50% left & I had atleast 35K on it. Not bad at all for the power I was putting through it."

They didn't wear off, they were torn off.

There's nothing abnormal looking with the pressure plate or flywheel either.
