The picture was pretty big so i didn't include it in the post. But is this normal for brakes to do this to rotors? I only have 4000km on my car also. Help please.

Hmmm...

Are you referring to what seems to look like a groove in the rotor?

Yeah, that doesn't look normal. How are your pads? Are they stepped?

they're just stock pads with 4000km on.

Right, but do they look ok where they make contact with the rotors?

The rotors are wearing a little unevenly but nothing too alarming. If you are worried have the rotors turned and the brakes surfaced this should take care of any irregularities. Depending on the climate and operating enviroment of the brakes ie. dirt, temoerature, hard applications. This type of wear may appear.
