as the title says, I know this is a stupid question but does anybody have any idea how come the rear wheels get much dirtier than the front wheels. I haven't looked into it much yet but I was thinking maybe the brakes need to be bled but they work fine. Idea's please?

I agree. Dragging rear brakes was my first thought. Even if they don't noticably drag, check the Ebrake cables to ensure they are not too taut when the ebrake is released.

Good luck.

could also be caused by using different pads f/r

no i do not have turn downs....i'll check the rear e-brake cable as well....pads were replaced at the same time with the same brand after I bought the car, so I don't think that'd be the issue.
