Hahaha nope the fronts wear faster on any car, all things being equal. The rears are bigger but have less surface area when it comes to the pad/rotor contact patch. As to why they are bigger, thats a good question as there is no real reason to have them bigger, perhaps it came down to manufacturing simplicity or brembo caliper requirments I don't know. But I know for a fact the front brakes going through at least double the workload of the rears.

Yup, they sure can.
Stock Brembos are already 12.87" front and 13.07" rear.

rears are bigger cuz thats where the power is being put down? so for front wheel drive cars usually front brakes wear faster than the rears... in RWD its the opposite? at least i think thats why lol or maybe i'm just talking out of my ***...

I'm not a brake expert at all, but I could have sworn that the stock Brembo rotors were the same size all the way around. Also, I thought the front calipers were 4 piston and the rears were 2 pistons. It doesn't make sense to me to have larger rotors where there are less pistons. But, like I said, I'm no brake expert at all....
