Absolutely no response from the Brakes and Suspension sub-forum so I'm posting here.......

I just finally got my new pads and stainless lines installed on the car. I'm still working to get a little air out of the lines but it's definitely better than it was the first time around.

I'm running PMU HC+800 pads and GTM Challenge stainless lines. The car was washed before going to a car meet this weekend so everything was spotless...not a spec of brake dust on the wheels. I got home later in the day and noticed that it seemed the rear wheels had more dust on them than the fronts. I know this is not typical. I'm wondering if the rear pads are dragging at all but how do I check? When I installed the pads the pistons in the caliper spun in easily so I'm pretty sure it's not a frozen caliper. I will say that the pads fit really tight in the pad guides. Is it possible this is what's making them hang up a little bit?

I also did not pull and re-grease the pins but I checked each one before doing any install and them seemed to move freely as is.

I'll give that a shot. Any other thoughts?

Car has 81k miles

 

Lift up the back and spin the wheel without the brake on. Should spin freely. Make sure the pins are aligned you will quickly know once one pad wears faster than the other

 

Make sure the spin piston grove aligns with the slot

 

On my pads I've grinded down the notches that way I can flip pads. Ebrake works fine

 

What rotors are you using? Any chance you have slotted rotors in the front and normal ones in the rear?

 

Oem rotors all around.

 

I would't rely too much on brake dust as an indicator of things unless the difference is really dramatic and it continues to happen.

 

Also try feeling the temperature difference of each wheel after some simple cruising. I've done this before to determine I had a sticky caliper. One of my rears was obviously hotter. Not necessarily a caliper cause/effect analysis but helps to locate the problem. Did you have the caliper pins all cleaned and re-lubed when you did your brakes? It's one thing to give them a squeeze and see they move freely and another thing to clean and re lube every time.
