Default Help/Advice Needed!! Uneven rotor wear!!

Don't mind the huge spacers...

But seriously, I'm freaking out, what's wrong with my brakes? This doesn't seem like normal wear.

Here are several causes:

- Manufacturer defect on the pads
- Installer did not apply the correct grease in the correct locations in the correct amounts (pad movement is crucial for a properly working brake system)
- the pistons were unevenly pressed in to make room for the new pads.

Rear brakes? It looks normal to me. Our car's rear brake pads don't go all the way on the rotors surface. Take a look at the old oem rotors, you'll see the same thing.

Yep, that's what they'll look like on the rears. Have the same deal going on with my Power Slot slotted rotors; the inner-most part doesn't even get touched by the brake pads. Now, do you have irregular rear brake pad wear?
