The new pads seem to be taking car of the problem so far... I can only hope i never hear a squeak again. Looking foward to washing the car and comparing the brake dust build up.

I've just passed my 29K miles mark and the brake pad warning has come on. The local (Monterey, CA) dealer quoted me $1600 to replace the brakes b/c they will also be doing the rotors. Can I just buy the Centric Posi Quiet Semi-Metallic pads from the Stop-Tech site and bed-in my new pads and keep the rotors going strong? There is still a lot of meat on the rotors, but they do have a couple of the "screw marks." Any help is appreciated.

What are screw marks? Unless your rotors are severely grooved and/or very close to the minimum thickness, I'd leave them alone. My car has 23,xxx miles and the front pads are 60% worn. My rotors are 1.3 mm away from minimum thickness. I am only putting new pads on this time around.

The stock pads have metal rivets that will groove the disk if you try to get too many miles out of them.
