Rear Brakes wear out first?

We don't have this sorted out. I haven't met anyone on the East Coast that wears out their rear track pads faster than their fronts. I'm running about a 4 to 1 ratio on pad wear. My front brakes are ducted to the dust shield, no ducting in the rear. You guys might not be getting your rear brakes hot enough during bed-in so they are wearing faster. The rear calipers seem to be more prone to dragging than the fronts too.

I'm with robrob. I go through fronts far more often than rears. This has been true with vented and non-vented fronts alike (though the venting helps, more for performance than wear rate.
Others seem to have the opposite experience.
We do not have this sorted yet. Though I'm sure Krazik will chime in and tell us how it is .
JK Rylan, all in good fun.

Also notice this.
Im with Krazik, overheating the fronts 9and reduced braking) means you are now pressing harder on the pedal.
You should be able to notice this...
The result is the rears are now working harder and as they are so small and unvented they just burn up.
I have seen oem pads just crumble to dust after a hard track session.
