Rear Brake Dust

[Ahura Mazda]

I have noticed on my car and on other cars like my sedan that I have much more brake dust on my rear wheels as compared to the front wheels. I have never, ever, in all my 25 years of driving and owning cars of all types.

I'm wondering why this is? Is it a brake material difference? Are they misadjusted/malfunctioning? Is this intended.?

What I notice, too, is that there doesn't seem to be hardly any brake dust on the fronts.

It also seems to feel that when I brake hard the braking is more from the rear than the front. It never felt out of control or awkward handling because of this but it didn't feel quite as secure as my VW Passat that I traded in.

What say all you.

its the same on everyone's three because mazda put cheap bads on the rear. They are replacing these pads if they cause a squeaking noice.

the rear brake dust drives me crazy. it has to be because they used shitier pads on the rear. whenever i wash my car, the fronts barely have any while the rear is covered in dust. super annoying

mazda is replacing the pads but only if your rear wheels are squeaking or grinding. There is a bulletin on the topic.
