Akebono Ceramic brake pads are worth exploring. Brake pads and rotors do not like to coexist. Brake pad with a harder compound will eat the rotor faster. Softer pad will generate more brake dust while increasing rotor life.
I jus put on akebonos for the fronts and so far so good. No squeaking and significantly less brake dust.

Akebono euro ceramic 1880 should fit the brembo fronts, I'm not sure about the rears since I have the single piston rear.

I got a set for 90$ on rock auto
How many miles do your rotors have?

Will be worthwhile to pay closer attention to rotor erosion with ceramic pads now 'coexisting' with rotors.
