Default Wrong brake TSIB?

Hey All,
So I got my brake TSIB done last week (I complained about the excess brake dust). Couple days later I noticed more dust on the front wheels than the back, but was not sure how much improvement the new pads were suppose to be. And today I noticed that the dust is maybe just as bad as prior to brake pad swap. I remember reading on past post here that there are two brake TSIB's out, is this true? Did they give me the wrong pad, would the part number be listed on the work order? And if so can I go back to the dealership and tell ask them to redo the brake TSIB?

Had the TSIB done on our 250 and it's great - no brake dust, and no noticable degradation in braking. Sounds like they put on the original style OEM pads instead of the 'new and inproved' pads.

Same, here its really drastic in how much less brake dust there is after the Brake TSIB. I would think they (hopefully by accident) put in the regular brakes.

Ok just checked my invoices my original invoice from the first time I took my car in and asked for the TSIB it clearly states that my complain was excesive dust and they printed TSIB BR002-06 (brake dust TSIB). But since they didn't have the pads at that time I had to bring my car 3 weeks later,and guess what yes they did do the TSIB for squeeking brakes (BR001-07) with the comment that the customer complained about squeeking brakes. So it would seem like my service consultant either got confused and told the service a different problem or something got mixed up in the process of ordering my pads. I guess I'll see tomorrow if they will correct this for me since I need to bring my car back for the AUX TSIB and the e-brake adjustment for the clicking noise over bumps. Wish me LUCK. I'm really starting to not like the service center here.
