Rear brakes dust, but not the fronts

[bcgreen]

I have had the rear brake pads (ceramic) and rotors replaced on the rear of my '04 coupe. What I have noticed is that the rears dust way more than the fronts. The fronts, I never did replace or turn the rotors, I just replaced the pads. This is really odd, how come the rears dust up in a couple of days and the fronts stay pretty much clean for a week? I don't let the car get dirty past a week so I can't say how much time does it take for the fronts to get dirty. These pads are ceramic as far as the manufacturer is concerned - CarboTech
The slide pins were cleaned and lubricated
Similar problem here, different car:

Just found out from Carbo Tech that they sent me ceramics for the front and a autocross compound on the rear, which is not a low dust pad.

Hope they exchange rears for the correct ones you ordered n/c including shipping. Their fail.

He couldn't remember the conversation.
He says " I can't take back the old pads, but you may be able to sell them to a 350Z or G35 auto-crosser, I can give you a discount on the purchase of the 1521 pads, but I can't do an exchange or give you the replacement pads for free either."

Typical. What's your invoice indicate? Did you pay for ceramic on rears? I'm sure they're more expensive than what they gave you. I wouldn't accept their excuse, but that's me. Regardless, good luck on whatever you and vendor come to terms with.

Sent an email to the President of CarboTech and explained the 2 year ordeal with the brakes. It was a detailed note entailing all the help I received here and the G35 forum. I received back a note to call him at my convenience.
I have to say he was a class act and had no problem sending me out another set, at no cost, but this time they will be ceramic.
It pays to go to the top, when they are accessible.

Well, actually, I order another set 2 months ago, and paid a brake specialist to install them, so that I could find out why I am having so much problems.
I order the second set thinking it was my faulty installation that was causing the problem.
