Stop Tech DD Pads

So I finally got my stop tech kit installed. Works great. However the pads I've got on there now squeek like a small animal is caught in the spokes of my wheels.

I'm currently running axis ultimate street pads. What do all of you other stoptech users run for daily driver pads?

Looking for a happy medium between noise/performance. Low dust would be nice... but you can't have everything.

I have found that many pads squeel like a stuck pig until you get them really good and hot during a bed-in process. Try that first.

my stoptech set is used and has alredy been bedded in. The pads are still in like new condition but they've got abotu 2k miles on them. Although just to be sure I did do the bed in process that stoptech details.

There is a product available at all parts stores,
it's called Disc Brake Quiet by CRC, it is a paste you apply to the back of the brake pads.

It works for us, we use it on all brake jobs, and big brake kits too, reduces or stops completely the squeels.
