Rust on back side of brake disc

Hi,

1 year old G21 has rust on the back side of brake disc, as shown in the attached picture.

This only happens to the front wheels. I've also checked my friend's 5 years old G20 and his is rust free!

Is this normal?

Thanks for confirming. I am curious why it happens to only front wheels. Do they use different materials for front and rear disc?

front brakes tend to get hotter. maybe the coating cooked off the rotor. just a guess.

I agree with that. More expansion happening in front. Then cracks in coating create ability to rust
