Your rears wear out faster than the fronts?

When I put my Axxis Ultimates and Brembo blanks on I went out in the middle of the night on a deserted highway and bedded them in like how Stoptech says to. They're sometimes squeaky when cold, and they're kinda dusty, but they stop pretty good. Oh and Ultimates and Metalmasters are two different things. Ultimate are ceramic and Metalmaster are semi-metallic.
