The EBC Redstuff pads may squeal at first - don't despair! Just drive them regularly for 200 miles or so (ignoring any squeal) and then perform the bed-in procedure and they'll never squeal again. Since they are a ceramic pad, there will be a huge reduction in brake dust as compared to the OEM pads. They have great initial bite when new so be careful with stomping on the brake pedal. They will also work great for a few track days (I typically got about 12 track days out of a set of Redstuff pads).
