Robbio,
You really should have done a search on this one as is has been covered on tons of threads.
Anyhow, the rear pads on cars built in June 08 or older are eligible to have thier rear pads replaced with an updated pad that throws off less dust. I had mine replaced and it made worlds of difference. When you talk with your SA, mention it is a Star Bulletin and not a TSB. In addition, our C Class has a program called EBP (electronic brakeforce proportioning) that actually brakes the rear wheels harder in straight line stops. The two combined will naturally give you more rear wheel dust.

Dealer will change the pads for free as long as you're odometer is under12k otherwise you'll have to pay around $250. There is allways better and cheaper aftermarket ones out there.
