Just replaced the rear rotors and pads on my 2002 base. Zimmermann zinc coated rotors and Textar pads. No squeaks and greatly improved braking performance.

Zimmermann recommends a "run in" procedure where after the zinc coating is removed you perform 10-15 braking events from 60mph to 30mph with 3 minutes between each braking event to allow the pads and rotors to cool. Then perform another 10-15 braking events from 60mph to 15mph, again with 3 minutes between each braking event.

Takes a little while but well worth the effort.
