Well, that ain't right.

Finally at 170k I tried Centric ceramic all the way around on my 07 Type S. Car is still on original rotors.After 2k on these pads huge difference and ZERO brake dust.Front Brembos bite just as well as the stock Brembo pads without the awful dust.Got them at Autozone in stock.Highly recommended.

The sqeak noise is just when first starting out , I guess with moisture on the pads. No noise after it. Just noisy for the first or second times when braking after starting out. Something must be able to be done for this...

I have Powerstop rotors and pads in the front and R1 concepts in the rear. Both seems to work well. I'm impressed that neither sets of rotors have started to rust yet. That always drives me crazy lol. The R1 concepts pads are very dusty though.
