pads and rotors
Going to have to replace them soon, I read a bunch of previous threads and have figured I will R1 premium rotors and either akebono, ebc, porterfield or stop tek pads.
Any recommendations on what combo produces the least amount of brake dust and has the lowest possibility of squeaks? Currently I still have that annoying brake squeel when I first drive the car in the morning. It is embarrassing how loud it can be.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks guys!

I had my front pads replace last year by a "home business" merchanic for $60, I don't know how that I let him talked me into using autozone pads (life time warranty, that mean when the pads need to be replace you just buy a new one and then return the old one and get your money back, sound really weird but I did confirm with the cashier. Anyway, it been almost a year and it working good, no noise and little dust compare to the original (the original still had around 50% but start making noise). I replace the rotors with MB OEM, (too scare to use autozone for it). The only thing is I don't know how it will effect the rotors.
