More Brake Dust out of the rear pads
Ever since i changed over to the Hawk HPS pads (front and rear), i noticed more brake dust coming out of the rear brakes, than the front. Very odd since usually the rear brakes are used much less than the front.
I was thinking i over torqued the caliper bolts when replacing the pads. Anyone know the torque spec on these bolts? Also, any other thoughts on what it might be?
and no, i dont crank the ebrake in turns - LOL

I guess that's what my red dust is, must be coming from the rusty rotors in the rear every time the brake pad hits the rotor. Weird though, because i don't get any brake dust on my front wheels.

Hawks grind and wear out the rotors.
mysql101, are you sure you have ceramics?
Ceramics may cause a little more duct but they protect the rotors.
I carbon kevlar pads from Porterfield.
They have been racing since 1984.
