A4CE One is for sale!

My '99 A4 1.8 is loud these days: when I brake, there is a squeaking sound. I also noticed a fair amount of brake dust... is this normal? What should I do, if anything?

brakes' performance, and virtually eliminate brake dust. Oh, and no squeal.

Not a paid advertisement!

dramatically reduced brake dust.

Only performance gain noticed is that it's less susceptible to fading when compared to stock pads uner hard driving condition.

I have greens going on 20K not even half worn. Better bite than OEM and a lot less dust. You dont notice dust until about the third day after cleaning and its easier to clean when you do clean.
