rear pads dragging?
i just had to replace my hawk hps pads. and the rotors. because the rear pads were completely gone. i mean like.. down to the backs and scraping on the rotors.
i always would check the front pads since i assumed they would wear down faster and since they had 50% pad i was like..
then i pulled a rear tire and found out i had zero pad left. well **** guys.
so i ordered some hawk ceramics (tired of the dust, thanks tirerack.)
so..
what could cause my rears to wear down a full 2x faster than my fronts? i should note that i do not make a habit of driving and racing backwards. i just replaced my pads and rotors and i do not want this issue again.

Are The claibers held in place withthe same type of pins as the front? If so you have to make sure that all the crud is cleaned off them casuing them to bind a little and causing more wear. I had the same troble with my wifes pontiac (its gone now) and it would wear the pads down to nothing in less than 6months.

the adjuster for the handbrake is in the center console. pop off the little cover near the front and look down. you'll see a 10mm bolt near the end of the hand brake.

If you don't wind the rear caliper piston in properly they can cause the piston to not retract. You need to wind it back all the way.....
Not sure why? Had this happen once...they dragged all the time and were getting hot at the track. I removed the pads...redid the pistons and they worked good after that
