Hi folks,
So I had a rear brake pad stick and ware down really quickly, so I went ahead and replaced the rear pads and rotors (I had done front and back pads & rotors about 2 years ago, the front were ceramic, rear TWR and rotors all around Fremax high carbon).
I went with Akebono rear pads with Fermax High carbon rotors.I didn't mess with the fronts, they look good with lots of pad left.
I just got back from work, which requires a fairly long curvy downhill drive. The rear wheels were very hot, on both sides, while the fronts were only warm.
I'm concerned about why the rear brakes were so hot, any ideas why this might be and what I should do to fix it.
