This is my third set of EBC pads. 2 pairs of Green Stuff 7000 and 1 pair of Yellow Stuff. The yellow lasted 3 years and 20,000 miles. Green Stuff has lasted 4 years and almost 30,000 miles. They produce a lot of dust, but it's worth it given the shorter stopping distance and less brake fade. I've never had a squeaky problem on any machine I've installed them on. In fact, they're the only ones who haven't. The OEMs squeaked, and the premium auto parts manufacturers squeaked. All EBC brakes have a special "break-in plan" in the manual. I'm not sure if others are following this or not and that's why they're having problems. I'm also not sure if the other rotors are where they should be qualitatively. I make sure to follow the break-in schedule through T and either get new rotors or flip old ones before use. I think they're worth the money, although they wear out faster and create a lot of dust. The OEM pads and rotors sucked on my Frontier and they healed it.
