Has anyone used the Autolite Iridium XP3923 plugs in their Boxster?

Hi Guys, I'm thinking about using Brembro pads as I'm sure the Boxster calipers are Brembro manufactured. Also they have anti squeal built into them so hefty saving in this feature alone, I have priced OEM and they are more than double the price, has anyone else tried Brembro?

We have used Denso Iridium’s in several cars with excellent results, but have not tried the Autolites.

OEM is Brembo, or at least it was at one time. I had the Brembos and on the track, they tended to chatter because of pad build up on the rotors. I went with Mintex, the cheapest pad available and they are great. Good initial bite, little dust and no chatter on the track. They also have a higher coefficient of friction than the expensive Brembos.
