I am using stock rotors (new fronts and original rears), I realize that I should expect squeaky brakes with aftermarket pads and am wondering if buying Brembo rotors for front and rear would be worth it to reduce the noise.

Does anyone have experience with this? Any idea if new aftermarket rotors will help with the noise level on the Axxis pads?
This could be a problem. You changed the pads in the rear, but didn't change the rotors. When you change pads on most vehicles you have to regrind the rotors if there's still enough thickness. With BMW rotors, you HAVE to replace them if you change pads.
