I have read elsewhere that the EBD system and to a lesser extent the DSC system have a bit of "anti-dive" programmed into them, such that under moderate to heavy braking much more braking force than on 'normal' cars is directed to the rear brakes. However I couldn't find any mention of this in the Workshop Manual. Combine lots of this type of driving (fairly heavy on the brakes) with the soft as butter OEM brake pads could explain the rear pads wearing out so fast. Conversely, under really heavy braking, at or near the threshold of ABS activating, the EBD system sends up to 90% of the braking force to the front brakes.

I was told a while back by my Jag Tech buddy, that while I was reading here that Rear brakes wore faster than the fronts, he said it was because the brake biasing under normal stopping conditions is favored to the rears to help alleviate nose dive while stopping...Makes sense

I went with Beck Arnley replacement rotors and Powerstop ceramic pads. So far, so good. Cost for all the parts, from Rock Auto, including shipping, was just under $400.
