The problem is in the pads. I replaced my rotors with cross drilled after market rotors, but decided to get new OEM pads ( thinking the problem was in the rotors ).. I was wrong! After 5000 kms of driving, the piercing screeeeeeeam came back!
Embarassing honestly.
So now I am shopping for good pads.

I changed my tires 2 days ago to some new Bridgestone Fuzions. $725 for all 4 installed.
Anyways, I had my mechanic check the brakes too - 60% left in front, 40% left in rear pads.....if I was still on the OEM bimetal pads, I would already have gone through 2 sets I think.
I love these brakes. No complaints after 30,000 miles on them and still going strong.

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads
OEM front pads on my 2008 GS350 worn down, so bought thru Rockauto, pair of Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads and had installed by my nephew at his repair shop. Two great results- excellent stopping power and very low, low brake dust.
The bad news- after about two weeks, squealed like a stuck pig. Very embarrassing. They squealed at first for only the first few stops of the day, then squealed ALL the time. They only way I could minimize squealing was to apply constant pressure when coming to a stop, never letting up on the downward pressure until car was completely stopped.
Solution- was already thinking about replacing the car with a CPO GS350 2011 model and did so, letting the dealer solve the squealing problem before they resold it.
