Default brake question...need answers

i seem to be getting more brake dust on my rear wheels rather than my front wheels, what does this mean?, is this right?, are my calipers leaking back there? i don't know whats going on.

and another question......is there a duckbill spoiler for the hatch that is not carbon fiber(and not the jdm one, i don't think it comes up high enough, or does it ??) i would rather get one that isn't but thats just me....if there is one can someone post a pic of one i have never seen it yet....and where can i get it? thanks in advance

depending on the pads. some give off more brake dust. also make sure the calipers arent hung up or sticking.

does your car roll easily? ebrake might be too tight. but it could just be the pads the dust a lot.

The rear brakes on my 93 si froze up a while back and i replaced them with GSR calipers. You will find that you can't buy a rebuild kit for the rear caliper, honda wants to sell you a 'reman caliper and take your calipers for a core charge. I took mine apart a few times because they kept sticking, they would last about a month before they would act up again. Bottom line go ahead save your time and buy new calipers if they are sticking. You can try http://www.fastbrakes.com they may be able to source a set of calipers for you.
