Default Major rear brake dust!

I noticed my 08 LR3 has alot more brake dust on rear wheels than front. Car had 85,000 miles on it and brakes have about half life left. Up until recently the front wheels would always be dirtier. Anyone have same problem? should I be concerned? Car brakes fine and seems to drive like normal. Thanks for any help!

We have the same problem on our Jag. On our LR, I finally got sick and tired of the excessive brake dust and changed over to ceramic pads...far, far less dust and the wheels stay so much cleaner.

I use EBC Rotors and pads. The dust is worst when breaking in new pads, but not too bad after that.

How many miles on your current rotors and pads.

I noticed that my front and rear pads currently wear out evenly. I would think that they all should work about the same.

Had the same problem on my '05 until I had them changed out.
