2010 MS3 Rear brakes using fast than front

[Ps3alltheway]

Anyone noticed that rear pads are wearing out fast than the front ones on our Mazda's 2010+

[boyracer]

Nope. I have not.

[2zoom]

Nope mine are wearing normal

U driving with your e-brake on?

Trying to e-brake turn? lol

[breakfasteatre]

seized calipers? How many kms on your car

My first thought. :)


seized calipers?

My second thought. :)

..... lol
no and no
I would know if i had a seized caliper

[breakfasteatre]

How would you know?

How many km on your car. (psst the only real explanation would be the calipers are seized/sticking)

[vinnierap]

my problem is the insane amount of brake dust on the front rims. I try not to even use the brakes...lol...

[bhrm]

do you drive more city or highway?

highway = fronts wear out faster
city = rear wear out faster

Interesting, please elaborate.

Interesting, please elaborate.

the 3's have had something called EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) since they came out in 2004. It distributed braking power to where it felt was needed. In the city, that would be the rear as the rear brakes would otherwise do little to no work stopping the car. On the highway, the front brakes, being bigger and better suited to dissipating heat generated from high speed stops, would do the most work.

When the 2004's first came out, you'd notice that their rear wheels would be darker than the fronts and the rear pads wore out faster (i know, i had one of the first Indigo Blue 2004's in the GTA and went through 2 sets of rear pads - 1 OEM, 1 EBC Green - while the fronts still had half left). This was later rectified by Mazda moving to a pad compound on the rear that did not dust as much.

However, the OP having a 2010, more info would be needed as to driving style to determine if it is a stuck caliper or if its EBD "working as designed".

I'll bet it's a stuck caliper(s). Had the same issue with mine, resolved by changing to ceramic pads (less dust) and religiously lubing the sliders every 3rd oilchange or so (very important).

I have a 2010 M3 GT and 108 000 KM , original brakes .

The front brakes have a lot of pads left and the rear seems to still have some but less than in front , thats the reason why I post this thread , I didn't experienced shaking in the pedal/steering wheel when I break , no weirds sounds or anything .

I do both Highway and City

Well thats quite a bit different from your first post. If you had given that info everyone would just say it's normal. What a waste of a thread! Next time give all the info.

Rear pads are also generally manufactured with less friction material (i.e., less pad "thickness") than front pads. This is probably why you thought they were wearing faster.

[Racingbees]

With that KM you are using. Its possible that you have change the front break once already. so it will make more sense.

[Ps3alltheway]

nope still on original pads
