I'm also interested in peoples comments for my factory AP brakes as they squeal like hell at low speeds.

Ditto. Tried some BMW anti squeal gunk (like copperease) and it worked fine for ten miles

Mine don't but then I run a different mintex Pad.

Mintex F4R

The F4R compound is slightly lower in overall friction to the F2R. It is however very easy to bed and is very user friendly making it suitable for club racing and light vehicle application. Fade resistant at temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees C. F4R offers a high level of pedal feel, high overall friction and stability over a broad range of temperatures with long pad life

I complained of squealing brakes a while back. The problem sorted itself after I did a track day. Hammering on the brakes from 120 for a few dozen laps seemed to bed the disks in properly. It's much much harder abuse that you'd see even with quite enthusiastic road driving. The stock AP & Mintex stuff does seem to be fine at least for me.
