Rear Wheels and Brake Dust

I have an odd one. My rear wheels keep getting dirty, much more so than the fronts. I have factory rotors and HAWK HPS Pads. Was not an issue for quite awhile, but is a recent occurrence. Still have plenty of brakes, just have to keep cleaning the rear wheels.

Yeah, likely posted before, but every time I try to hit search, the menu comes up behind a stupid add.

Any ideas? Any reason the rear brakes would drag?

Thanks in advance.

It's usually the brake pads your using. Mine's get dirty specially at the front.

Check to see if they are warmer than the fronts after a drive. The e-brake assembly might be causing them to drag

^ Agreed on the rear brakes dragging. Check and adjust the e-brake slack accordingly if they are dragging. I have a dragging rear caliper that I still need to swap (procrastination), i doubt you have the same stuck piston caliper issue though.
