When I got the car the stock front pads squeaked. Switched to green stuff on the fronts and no more squeak, and no more dust. Then the ebc rears became available, had those put on and now I've put away the California Duster for good. Unfortunately, squeak is back, this time on the rears. Will this go away after time? Thanks,

Did you have the rear rotors turned?
I had an experience with front rotors that were ever so slightly warped - I put in new pads and they squeaked real bad - the wobbly rotors were rubbing and "polishing" (for want of the correct term) the pads. If I used the brakes hard, squeak disappeared for a bit.
Turned the rotors - no more problem

Even my green pads will squeal after a while without washing the car. Try this: Hose down the wheels/brakes (I use a high pressure wash) and get rid of the dust that is in there. This gets rid of the squeal for me 98% of the time. The other 2% I try a hard braking and it seems to stop it. Hope that helps, as it is a cheap solution!
