Maybe he drives in reverse a lot. At high speed.

Yea, I forgot to mention I got 3 reverse gears! LOL More likely the previous owner replaced the front brakes once, but the rears were still OK...

Well for the love of all that's holy don't put the wrong size speed bleeder in your calipers if you choose to go the speed bleeder route. Trust me just because they fit doesn't mean they are the right ones. I got 4 brand new calipers when I learned my lesson . I switched out my rotors for slotted and got hawk pads as well. Any body know if I can get slotted rotors turned if I need to?

Most modern cars have their rears wear faster than the front. It's the new normal. They're actually designed like that now.

I have the Hawk HPS and they were not noisy at first, but they get quite noisy after a little while. The ceramic pads will be quiet, but do not grip as good. My HPS will squeak pretty much every time under light/moderate braking. Heavy braking they do not.

i've never heard my hps pads squeak and ive had them on for 10k miles.

I'm glad i found this break post, I'm not happy with my breaking, i feel like i need to better my stopping ability, and those x-drilled rotors look bad A@s.
But i really dont want to pay high dollar for some rotors, what are some good breaking pads, And that is one of my pet peeves, noise, any squicking from pads WILL drive me upthewall. I heard that ceramic's r purty darn good, but did someone mention that they are squicking on them ? I cant handle noisey squicking pads. I like good noise, such as the high pitch s/c noise/good x-haust rummble noise etc: LOL.
