Update: Replaced all the brake pads with Akebono Euro Ceramic pads last week and have been squeak free since. Let's hope it stays this way. Besides being quiet, they give off low brake dust, have a nice brake feel and were reasonably priced ($130 after tax and shipping off Amazon).

Pros: squeak free, low brake dust

Part number: EUR1107

akebono euro ceramic pads have the least dust i've ever seen from a pad, make no noise, last awhile and i havent seen any extra rotor wear. however they are NOT a performance pad, think of them like stock pads in temp performance but just very low/light colored dust, no noise.

Pros: least dust, no noise

Cons: not performance pad

Can't say enough good things about my Akebono pads. Dust is almost non-existent and they stood up to a full day of Auto-X without any fade....at one point several consecutive runs.

Pros: dust almost non-existent, no fade
