I have, my DD accord is this way. Not sure if 370z works the same or has the same issues but here is why accord does it. As part of the stability control system Honda uses the rear brakes and a yaw sensor to keep the car level when braking. So under faster stops when the sensor sees the weight transfer from rear to front it adjusts brake bias more to rear and car remains "level". In the accord instance the rear brakes were undersized for this type of duty. Mine blow through a set of rear pads around 25k where I can go close to 100k on fronts. Cheap o Honda, instead of fixing correctly with bigger caliper/pad/rotor out back instead just keep revising pad componds after class action lawsuit until the revision 4 pad setup would last just long enough to be acceptable. I and most people still only get about 30k out of the revised version, but most myself included won't drop thousands into a right sized BBK for a low HP econobox.
