I noticed on my 2002 TL Type S that the front brake disks show "wear" (no rust on rotor, brake pads obviously contacting rotor) However the rear rotors look like the pads are have only very light contact (rust spots on rotor, no wear at all on the rotors).

Anyone else seen this? I have not taken it in to my dealer yet.

this is normal. when you brake, the weight shifts forward so there'll be more braking force up front.

that's why most non-performance cheap cars still have drum rear brakes instead of discs.

besides that, another good thing...only your 2 front wheels get really brake dust covered instead of all 4 which means you saved 10 minutes when washing which you can apply to zainoing time!
