What caliper is that?
I run Centric High Carbon Steel rotors, power stop pads, and SS brake lines. They feel fantastic best brakes on any car I've owned so far. Better feeling than the stock SVT front brakes with stock ford pads with stock rear drums on my other focus. Though to be fair that one doesn't have abs so you can easily lock them up but they are easily modulated to control lock up, way better than the stock ones with SS lines which were puny.

Yea it is till you price out pads. I looked at Brembo's 328mm kit & then figured out parts prices & went w/ Baer's instead. I was a little slow on getting the Baer's rear kit (discontinued) so I went w/ tce Wilwood kit over svt's.

Plain old Raybestos for me. Their rotors are weighty and well machined, and their ceramic pads are silent.

SVT brakes front/rear with Greenstuff pads, centric solid and ss lines. Best setup i can do without going bbk. Very happy with the stopping and pedal feel, works really well for me
Personally, High carbon Bosch rotors (SVT front/rear rotors) and Raybestos Prof. grade semi-metalic. (my vehicle) Though I would normally install Raybestos Advanced Technology, if available, (both pads and rotors) or Raybestos Prof. grade, (both rotors and pads) Centric High carbon rotors, Bosch ceramic pads, Centric Posi-quiet pads, Wagner Thermo quiet pads.

If it makes you feel better my Greenstuffs are pretty dusty too but they are quiet. Your HP+'s are probably more aggressive though, bet they work great once at temp
