I have Red stuff on the front and Green stuff on the rear. The Red actually stopped making noise after 100 miles but the Green sometimes make noise under light braking.

There was a crazy amount of brake dust during the initial period, but it got better as described on their website.

They only have about 30 miles on them so i'll give them a few.. They probably just have to bed a bit.

I also had greenstuff on my wifes X-type a while back and they never made noise so i'm not too concerned. I just wanted to check..

did you apply caliper grease to the backside of the pads- and the end tabs where they fit into the slider clips- you cleaned and lubed the sliders ?
What pad bedding method are you using
It can take a few hundred miles for some performance pads- or more - to get fully bedded
They also need a certain min temp to work well.
3 coats of synthetic car wax on the rim surfaces will cut down brake dust sticking to the rim
Rust ridge on rotors will cause noises too.

I Have red stuff on my 6MT and they squeek but definately not as much as other aftermarket pads. They are a bit dustier than the oem pads.
