I don't care about dust, but reducing occasional squeal would be great.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Carbotech pads.
The braking power is identical, the squeal is about 99 % gone (have not heard it in about two weeks, come to think about it) and the dust on the front wheels is about 2/3 less than the OEM pads. There is one hitch - the OEM F10 pad is UNIQUE and this is the reason that no other pad makers have a pad for our car except a track pad. Carbotech gave me a choice once we found this out - go back to the OEM pad or send in my OEM pads so they could put the OEM silencer shims on their pads which is what I did.
Carbotech says that they are going to laser cut a new backing plate just for the F10 M. Stealth, you can call Mike Jr. at Carbotech and ask if they have the new pad out yet. Either way, I would not trade my pad for the OEM at any price, just for the low dust part alone.
