you should remove the rear wheels each spring and make sure that the caliper assembly does indeed float. It is a simple thing to remove the bolts and swing the caliper up and slide it back and forth, applying silicone grease to the sliders (be careful with the rubber caps and replace if cracked). Sometimes (most times) they don't slide well and the pads wear unevenly)

BTW I just replaced (at 149,400 kilometers) both front rotors, both rear rotors all pads and the rear pad clips and pins for a grand total of $C305 ordering the parts from Sobstory and doing the work myself while on vacation in Florida, it took about 2.5 hours using the car's jack and placing the removed wheel under the car as the 'jack stand' security. The hardest thing was getting the parking brake shoes to let go of the rotor (I tapped the lever on the back of the brakes and wiggled it out). You will need the appropriate Metric sockets (rear brakes) and allen head socket (front brakes) as well as an 'extender' for your 1/2" drive arm (I took a 3 foot piece of pipe with me and I did need it. CTC has (or will order) all the parts you need except for the rear pad clips and pins (get them from the dealer before you start) and their cost was about $C475 including tax. Also, price all the parts at a local autoparts outlet, you may be surprised. My son got Brembo rotors for his 1994 V6 at one! (mine are Zimmermann) at a better price than quoted at CTC. Good luck
