Default brake pads

I've had trouble finding good after market brake pads, I have replaced my pads all the way around the car 3 times in the last 2 months because of squeaking what good pads has anyone tried that don't sound like you still need a brake job?

Default RE: brake pads

Sqeaking brakes are NOT a sign that they need to be replaced. The squeaking is just the brake pad vibrating against the caliper. The solution is to put some "disc brake quiet" on the back of the pads and reinstall them. Disc Brake Quiet is an orange goo sold at any auto parts store. Make sure you put it on the back side of the pads (not the surface that contacts the rotor).
