I used the Blue MBZ anti squeel paste on my PBRs and have no noise.

Aaron, where do you get the copper anti-seize paste? And can it be applied with the spray-on stuff already there?

Textar pads in the yellow box are a bit harder and produce a bit less dust than factory pads. I think they stop just as well.

For brake squeal:

Pull the pads and get all the spray on stuff of. use MB antisqueal paste or, like I do, plain old antiseize, on the back were the piston goes (you don't need to coat the whole back) and the SIDES of the backing plate, where they touch the caliper. The pad must move slightly every brake application, and if one side sticks from rust, etc, the pad will lift off the piston and vibrate.

Note that all OEM pads already have an antisqueal coating (that's not standard paint on there!), and that if you don't clean the calipers correctly, the brakes are gonna squeal whatever you do until you get the calipers slot clean!

Heya Bill....

I just wanted to mention something I've both heard and seen now regarding these PBR Deluxes.

I had originally heard before buying them that they don't necessarilly give off LESS dust but instead the dust that *is* released is not that black tar type crap that sticks to our wheels.
The dust is more of a grey'ish color and I've noticed that it's not plastered to the wheels like the black dust is....it comes off very easily.

So, I mention this because of accepted idea that if there's little or no dust that the brakes can't possibly be working very well. For the PBRs, the dust is still there...it's just less likely to stick to the wheels and what amount *does* land on the wheels comes off very easily.
