Default Rear brake dust

I have noticed alot of rear brake dust. On the inside of therear wheels. On both my GT and my wifesV-6 Pony Pkg Stang. Way more than the fronts have, is this normal?

Yah i have the same problem i get a lot of dust on the back of my car as opposed to the front ....... my car is white and i always get a layer of dust on my bumper and around the spoiler and what not....... im not sure its just brake dust its prob just things being thrown from the road from your back wheels .... But im in the same boat the back is always a lot dirtier than the front of my car .

I'd say not normal. I haven't noticed that at all in the year I've had my car. The rear end gets dirty, yes, but that's just the aerodynamics of this car. I however do not get large amounts of brake dust. Maybe it's something else?

I dont know. My fronts are way dustier then the rear. The front should be braking harder to stop the car and have more dust,I guess. The rear gets dirty too but not as much for me.

Could be the TCS? It uses the breaks to stop the tires from spinning.

Just got Bendix CT3 ceramic front pads to elminate dust on the front wheels. These pads are awesome, 70 bucks at Advance which was 40 dollars less than the same pads for my 04 Mach.

I'm constantly amazed by the lack of dust on my Screaming Yellow GT's wheels, front and rear. The wheels are so clean that even with Meguiars Quick Detailer and a micro cloth that it hardly gets the cloth dirty. This with stock pads, "fun" driving, and 16,600 miles.

However, the quarter panels and the rear end are constantly getting a very light black dusting on them. My tires are black, the dusting is black, I think there is a conection, yet, the rear wheels are alway VERY CLEAN and hardly dirty my rag.

I did just put a pair of GT Splash Guards on ther rear. Wonder if that will change the dusting pattern?

What's up with that?
