I'm on Rotora slotted all around and using Satisfied Pro Ceramics, they work better than stock and the pedal feel is great, no squealing (used No-Squeal on shims and caliper and rotor surface) and barely any dust either.

Eats your rotors quicker though... better performance but is it really noticeable over ceramics?

well I have the 2.3 and upgraded the rotors and calipers from the 3.0. They are a larger rotor. Yeah the semi's eat the rotor more then if I got ceramic. But I feel a differece from the semi then ceramic, the only thing is that break dust is crazy.
