Maybe your brake balance being different with the F30 brakes is causing it?
Thanks for chiming in.

F8x, not F30 – but yeah, I'm sure that's what's causing it. Smaller effective piston diameter, so pressure bias moves rearward. And more brake torque up front with the stock staggered tire sizes, so fronts might be locking up faster.

When you say you were cooking the rear brakes, do you just mean faster wear on the rear pads? Or cooked seals as well?

What calipers do you have back there?
