I just got new front brake pads in my 2011 earlier this week -- free under warranty for the TSB. I explained to them that I knew squeaking was part of the deal with a ventilated Brembo setup, but that mine was sounding ridiculously loud...like a public bus grinding to a stop. At any rate, now there's just a slight squeek right at the very end of the stop instead of a long, loud, drawn-out screech. I new pads don't have as much bite either. I don't know if this impacts stopping performance, but I'm satisfied with the end result.

I have had my front & rears supposedly replaced. It's been about 8 months since, & I'm getting insane squeal out of the brakes. Asked them to address this last visit, maybe two months ago. They said since they had replaced them, doing this again wouldn't help. Not satisfied with this and many other small but annoying issues ( a lot of cabin noises, and strong buffeting still on sunroof). Help, advice would be appreciated.

I will just a a +1 for the Wearever pads ...they do not bite as hard as the stocks but life is not (always) a race - meaning the bite good enough for daily driving and some "more fun" as well.

dust about 80% less than OEM's...again your wheels will thank you!

^^ Agreed. Wearever has been great in IMO. I have the pads as well but their was a complain about 15% of the pads not touching the rotors. check out the link below. This has not been proven yet. I'm going to check my pads this weekend to see if i'm having the same issue.
