If you have squeeling, you simply have not used your brakes hard enough. Note that I have almost 8000 miles and not a peep out of mine. That's because I use them, shall we say, vigorously. And regularly. Yes, they're a little "groovy". But they are FANTASTIC brakes. Full race conditions with no fade! In a 2 ton sedan!
The dust? Get used to it. I can show you 100K Mercedes with dusty rims like ours. And they don't stop as good!!!
Patience is a virtue, there is a fix in the "pipeline", wait and see.

I agree with absolutely everything above -- except perhaps the part about needing to use the brakes hard. I don't use my brakes very hard -- with these brakes, I can haul down quickly from speed so smoothly and effortlessly -- the ABS never triggers. No serious grooving and no squeaking but of course plenty of dust. But I'm only at 2500 miles.
