Brake light came on at 42,000 miles, and took car in for inspection and 45,000 mile service. Dealer tells me I'm right at the minimum for pads and rotors, and the recommend replacing both front and rear as a set...pads and rotors. I know nothing about brakes. Front / rear replacement is $3k to $4k. I'm thinking I might as well spend the same or a little more and get higher performance brakes. Tried to do some research and all I can find is info on low dust brake pads.

Anybody have experience they would like to share for this situation. I might track my car once a year...

Thanks for any advice.

Currently brakes are squeaking last 20ft of a full stop...and starting to get worse...
