Best replacement brake pads

I like EBC Yellow Stuff for the track. My only gripe with the EBC is the tapered edges (loss of braking surface area) on the pads. They grip very well with little or no noise after the break-in period.

I also have a set of rotors for each set of pads. Street rotors/street pads and track rotors with track pads.

Do these pads squeal much?

EBC Yellow stuff squealed randomly for the first 150 miles. Not often but often enough to catch you off guard. They have not squealed after they were fully bedded (around 500 miles).

The Oreilly's ceramic street pads did not squeal at all and they produced very very little dust.

I might try some of those then. I have Pagids & they are pretty dusty. I like my Sport Classic wheels a lot, but they are chore to keep clean.
Thanks for the input.

I would personnally recommend Stoptech pads, which are much cheaper than OEM, quiet, can be driven year round, and don't fade at the track. The only downside I've found is that they are dusty... Very, very dusty. But, the ability to run the same pad year-around and still run fade-free at the track makes the dust livable.
