Rear brake pads worn before fronts???

Hi, I brought my '04 E in to Honda dealer for front pad replacements. Upon checking, the service rep said that the front pads have 4mm left but that the rear are at 2mm. I have 55,000mi. Does it make any sense that the rears would have more wear than the front? I have never had my brakes worked on or replaced.

It's crap..........Three cheers for AutoZone

Time for Honda to change the proportion valve ratio! It's wrong! The rears wear out way to fast and there isn't enough front brake and the E just doesn't stop all that well. At least mine anyway and I bought it new. I have had four other ABS vehicles and they never wore in the rear first and they all stopped much better too. On another subject tonight I just replaced my drivers/rear caliper,rotor and pads after replacing the pads last year.

Cheer #1 - AutoZone had the best prices $69 for the caliper w/lifetime
warranty $37 for the rotor; two year warranty

Cheer #2 - They replaced their lifetime pads I bought last year free even
though it was it was my bad caliper that ruined them

Cheer #3 - they let me do the work in their parking lot since I have too
much snow in my driveway (and in my life in general) mooching
a couple of tools to boot!
