With the powerstops I see some dust but its lighter and there is significantly less of it. With stock pads my wheels would be dark grey after about 200 miles of mixed driving. Now my wheels look no dirtier than the rest of the car after about a month.
I don't know about the other brands but i assume that any ceramic pad would give similar results in terms of dust.

When I took my F Sport in last week for the moonroof replacement I had the dealer check the brakes for the squeal. They pulled up the service history and found that the brakes had been replaced and given the anti-squeal treatment about 5,500 miles ago. They said that there wasn't much they could do about it. When I mentioned that some on this forum had solved the issue with non-Lexus pads the tech said that the aftermarket pads may negatively affect the stopping distance.
I'm not planning to replace the pads until they're due for it but I wonder if anyone's experienced an increase in stopping distance due to non-OEM pads.

Powerstops has slightly less stopping power but not a deal-breaker as it still brakes quickly.

Yes, they are a bit grabby. It took me a while to get used to it compared with my previous LS 430. And yes, lots of dust. Never had that before, not even on my Corvette.

Just purchased a lightly used 2015 FSport (black with flaxen interior) and do still hear the squeal but only sometimes. It's weird how that happens and it only happens when braking at speeds <5mph.
Thoughts?

Brakes
After 2 years and 2 dealer repairs I had a set of carbotech pads along with new rotors installed on my 2014 ls 460 f sport. The brakes are more responsive to the pedal but best of all they don't squeal and it is now a complete pleasure to drive my car.
