Brake disc skimming
#10
Fronts last way longer than rear because they're "floating".
The outer disc that stops you gets hot, but doesn't transfer the heat to the inner part, whereas the the rear is one plate and receives all the braking heat, hence the reason people have so much grief undoing the bolts.
All depends on the grade of pads used really.
Organic pads are soft and will wear out quicker and create more dust, sintered are harder and will bite more but are more abrasive.
I just wore out an EBC Pro-Lite rear disc with sintered Galfer pads in 11 months, but i had a front brake issue so compensated by over using the rear brake.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
