 Rear vs Front Brake Wear

The answer is easy, have a look at new front vs new rear pads. The rear has a fraction of the thickness because it's not supposed to be doing the bulk of the braking!
That said, why can't we have a thick rear pad that lasts for a LOOOONG time?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming
"WOO HOO - What a Ride!"

I do not have an OEM rear brake pad to compare. But I can say that the front and rear EBC pads have the same amount of material. I have been carrying the EBC HH pads for some time now and my customers tell me that they stop noticeably better than the OEM pads.
Those who are running them tell me that they are lasting longer than the OEM pads. EBC says they should last about twice as long as OEM pads.
