I've also been using Centric 120-series brake rotors and Akebono ProAct ceramic pads for years. The pads are long-lasting and amazingly dust-free.
Pros: long-lasting, dust-free

If you are cheap like me you will swap to Akebono Ceramic pads. Rotor will last 4x longer.
Pros: rotor will last longer
Akebono are the oem makers for toyota pads. I have used those with great results on a higher quality rotor.
Pros: great results
Vehicle:
Toyota
I believe Akebono makes them. I put them on all my cars, the ceramic pads are quiet, little dust, don’t fade and last a long time.
Pros: quiet, little dust
Cons: don’t fade
I just got my brakes and rotors on my ‘22 RX 350 changed not with OEM rotors/brakes, but Akebonos. On top of that, I got a full brake fluid flush. I feel the same “bite”. I don’t recall my OEM brakes/rotors having such bite, but I do feel quite safer because I can go from top speed to a full stop much sooner.
Pros: safer, quicker stops
Cons: sensitive bite
Vehicle:
Lexus RX
Akebono ceramic pads are great. Stop well, very low dusting.
Pros: Stop well, low dusting
I changed the front pads and rotors for the first time in my ‘17 at 116k miles in July. I went with Zimmerman Z coat 312mm non-pp rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. 4k miles on the new parts and the bite and pedal response is excellent!
Pros: excellent bite and response
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 116000 km
akebono euro pads are literally the best and don't produce that annoying black dust all over your wheels.. definitely worth the money.
Pros: don't produce black dust
Cons: worth the money
I would look at pads. Akebono which are a low dust pad act like what you are experiancing. Not a lot of inital bite. Which I like.
Pros: low dust, initial bite
Cons: not aggressive
Vehicle:
BMW
I replaced my brakes with Akebono. But I am not going to buy it again.
Cons: not going to buy again
