Turn up the radio..... Next time change the brakes your self and be sure to grease everywhere metal touches metal, and don't be afraid to spray too much brake cleaner. Also don't buy the dirt cheap brake parts.

All i can say is that the brembos produce a lot of dust! I wipe my wheels every 3 days! I'm switching to ceramics when my brakes wear out. I friend advised me that hawk brake pads have pretty good ceramics. He uses it on his '06 STI.

I just installed some Raybestos ceramic quiet stop brake pads the other day. And so far they have been great. The car stops a little better than it used to with the stock brake pads, brake dust is greatly reduced from what I have seen, and the best part is it only cost about $110 for both the front and back brakes.

By the way this is with the normal braking system, not the brembo.
