Its a stock photo, not the actual part. They claim to be quieter, etc like I said might be worth a try if the stop that freaking grinding/squealing noise after a rain.

True dat. I did mine about 2k miles ago and it still does it. Annoying.

I thought maybe it was the bracket hanging up funky, I lubed the crap out of it, no difference. Which has led me to believe its def the pad/rotor combo. As far as brembo fluid, I'm good with super blue/yellow

Correct. I would think one of them is getting surface rust. Not sure if it's rotor or pad. Goes away as soon as you scrub them.

We weren't talking about fronts. We are talking about the stock rotors and pads on the SS/TC

Pretty sure its the pad, unless its super fine on the rotor surface, I'm only checked visually never ran my hand across the rotor surface.
