Default Which pads for Brembos and no squeaking?

Well i have figured out squeaking with Brembos is sensitive and only normal(even with the Subie, BMW guys), especially with even a bit more aggressive pad. My Brembos on Project Mu B-force make me wanna cry at braking at low speeds. I'm still debating on replacing or not. I'm just glad to know it's a normal thing to happen and not a result of a faulty brake component.

Anybody have no squeaking with an afterrmarket brembo pad?

I have the Project Mu NS pads and although they're a bit less aggressive than the B-force pads I don't really get squeaking. You might want to give those a shot.

there is no pad that is silent and is good for track days - most people either live with a bit of noise, or run track pads and street pads and alternate

Hawk Ceramic and HPS are purely street pads

anti squeal will help, but not a significant amount on the B Force compound - awesome pads for sure, but very similar to a DS2500, in that they are a touch noisy on most people's cars, generally in the last 10-15 feet of a stop with light pedal pressure (ie, coming to a stop at a traffic light or stop sign)

then go red-bed the pads to be 100% sure

any auto parts store will sell this stuff, or something just like it

People are giving you different suggestions so I would definitely research it further...but to answer your question they are MUCH better than the oem brembo pads. At worst I get about half the dust I used to.
