Default Brake dust....
Is it me, or do these things put out excessive amounts of brake dust.. I've cleaned my wheels 3 times, and have only had the car 5 days!! Seems a bit much, I recollect the same issue on my B5 A4....

I changed my fronts to Hawk HPS...not much noise, and very little dust.

Squeaking has not been an issue with the S4s

Default Common problem for most german cars
I went to Mintex Red Box pads on my A4 - great street pad.
