This has strangely happened to me. Can this be considered normal. I even had to have my front rotors turned already, so it's hard to understand how the rear pads could have worn out first.

 

At my 15k service, my rears were more warn than my fronts too. I thought it was weird too but didn't think much about it...

Anyone else have this problem???

 

I have never seen this happen. Maybe the rear brake pads were sub par and made of a soft material or soemthing. Migth want to have that checked out.

 

that may explain why I get more brake dust on the rear

 

The rear pads are organic and the fronts are semi-metallic, could this be the reason?

 

I posted about this problem before... so I guess my max is not the only one that generate more brake dust at the rear...

 

yes... I guess that would make sense.... didn't know what kind of pads they were

 

I had my 48K KM done a few weeks ago and the rears have 30% left, 50% front and I ain't easy on the brakes!

 

You're not the only one - I've also replaced my rears at about 18K miles, there was only 1-2 mm material left on the pads. My fronts at the same time still had about 70% left. Replaced them with semimetallic Wagners and they're fine. I'm running Porterfields on the front, I've installed them about 6K miles back when I got my front rotors replaced under warranty. No problems with either yet.

my 2c, Mike.

 

SprintMax you should know this one bro.
