Default brake pads

About to replace mine and was wondering if there are options out there that have less squeal and dust than the factory pads.

I usually like factory pads but number one concern is squeal, then dust. I don't do any racing so high heat performance is not a priority.

thanks!

Hawk pads. I first tried them years ago and they're the only pad i'll buy.

On my Dodge Ram, I installed EBC green stuff pads with EBC sport rotors...I love them. When it's time for pads on the Mustang, I'm just going to replace te rotors with the same setup as the Ram.

Any of you guys have problem with chatter? I went with ford pads on the F150 and they chatter. I am thinking to avoid them for the mustang but I don't want squeaky race pads with loads of dust.

I went with Baer Decela Slotted/Drilled rotors and Baer brake pads. No surface rust, dust or squeeking at all !!
