Can anyone answer why the brake dust is so much heavier on the front wheels than on the back.

Just curious.:?:

Thanks

the front brakes do the most work

My first car with all around discs. Kinda figured they'd brake equallly.

Thanks for the answer.

You may notice that the front brake rotors and calipers are larger than the rears.

The front is where most of the weight is located and as mentioned above, does most of the braking.

There are aftermarket low-dust brake pads available; I've got some on mines and am very happy with them.

In addition to the static weight up front, you also have the weight transfer to the front wheels when you brake. It all adds up.
