That's what I'm hoping for. It seems like it's impossible to get a good bleed without hitting abs a few times. And besides it's fun.

They build up fair amount of heat. The rears are 10.8" and solid non vented so there's not a lot of mass or cooling surface. The bias may be way to the front but they still produce a lot of heat.

I should've added that more wear in the front is completely normal, nothing wrong with your brakes. I was just talking from a performance point of view about the heat.
