I'm a little confused if this is Brembo or Non- Brembo since it says "Brembo replacement rotors" and then it says "Non Brembo brake package"

It's the Brembo Brand rotors for the Standard Brake Package, not to be mistaken for the awesome looking Brembo calipers found on the 03-04 Coupe that has the 6MT. I just bought the Brembo rotors for the standard brakes, does that make sense?

So "grab" on intial application is somehow bad?

Low pad dust means wither the rotor is wearing or the pad is harder, neither of which is good for brake life nor intial application cold stopping distance.

Two myths of uniformed consumers is that all season tires really are and brake dust is somehow "bad."

i agree with both statements. The Hawk HPS break pads are awesome. The produce high breaking power with low dust emission, but keep an eye on the rotors. This break pads, since they are street racing to track use pads, will tend wear the rotors. Nothing to be concern, since the rotors will last approximately the life span of the break pads, even half the life of the second set. One good thing is that you will not feel breaking vibrations, because the rotors are always gonna be grinned.
