I tried ATE Slotted

and Akebono Euro ceramics this time quiet stopping ,low dust.. I think the Brembo slotted with the Akebono ProAct had a crisper bite but the Brembo rotors were around twice the price IIRC... I still have them, gonna have them spun and see weather the shop who told me one was warped was right .. I've had them in a box in my trunk since i swapped them..

Just got rid of my Balo rotors, (1 year old) 2 out of 4 warped, got ATE Premium One's (fronts slotted)

Jurid pads.

Go ATE Premium One slotted and Akebono pads... forget about everything else... not worth your time.

I run the AKEBONO EURO ULTRA-PREMIUM brake pads on the front and the Raybestos QS in the rear. The Raybestos weren't very dustless when installed on the fronts, but plenty clean when installed on the rears

Brembo fronts with Raybestos QS, rears with ATE and Raybestos QS.

Front QS pads have 49,000 miles and very little dust. Had front ATEs and QS pads. However the front ATEs warped and were replaced with Brembos and kept the QS pads with no apparent problems.
