More Brake Dust on Rear Wheels?

Hey guys,

I wanted to pick your brains. I've had my C350 for a week now and I've noticed that I seem to be having more brake dust accumilate on my rear wheels than the front. This was completely the opposite on my 06 C230.

I've also felt that my brakes feel a little "spongy" than my past car or even other C300s/350s I've driven. I was wondering if there was a correlation. I searched and didn't see the specific issue raised save for a brief mention on the S class forum.

ideas?

I recently noticed the same thing. Wonder if the parking brakes are dragging??

Not to be rude but this has been discussed a few times use the search function for the full threads. Long story short the brakes are biased to the rears (why I don't know).

The answer is EBP. See your owner's manual P68.
