| I've also had a fair amount of rust collecting on the rears when the B has been parked for a week or two. I feel the quality is lacking in the rears. I would apply the brakes very firmly over and over to clear the rear rust but with hardly any effect. The rears hardly apply at all, in my opinion.
The dealer stated that there was no adjustment to send more braking to the rear.
My solution was to find a long steep hill on asphalt, back down the hill and repeatedly press firmly on the brakes, almost to the point of lockup. Back and forth, up and down until it slowly cleared. Backing down naturally loads the rear more and it worked!
I hope this might help others before the rust is beyond the point of removal.
Cheers, Derek
ps: I would have liked to have seen a close-up of the wear pattern on your pads also. Would new pads have cleaned up those discs? I don't know.
