Is it normal for reteainers to have some wear on them after 3000 miles?

I'm in the middle of taking off my 918's and the reteainers all have some wear on them. My springs and hardware only have 3-4000 miles on them, and I never saw any kind of wear on any other retainers I took off my car. I won't be able to get pictures till wednesday though. They have some minor grooves in them and you can feel them with your finger nails.

It's really a simple question, is it normal for retainers to have some wear on them? It looks like hte springs were spinning in the seats/retainers or something, even the shims have black streaks on them.
