Man I'm Sick of squealing Pads !!!

Can someone please point me in the right direction. Is it possible to get Pads that won't squeal and still perform ? Maybe it's me, Maybe I'm to soft on them coming upto lights and they polish and glaze from the light friction, if that makes any sense!

I done the bedding in ( 8 Hard stops from 100 klm/h to 10 klm/h ) and my pads have started to squeal straight away ! I have brand new DBA 5000 Slotted 2 piece Rotors, braided lines the stock 4 pot Brembos up front and 2 pot in the rear. Currently the pads I have on there now are RACE BRAKES. They need to be really hot for them to work and not squeal.
I hit the track maybe three times a year, the rest of the time it's some heavy street work. It's driving me crazy, I'm going to take an axe to them soon !

Which pad out there has the best bite with out the squel. Has anyone out there had any luck with this ?

Bendix GCT's. You don't even have to worry about bedding them in, as have titanium strip that makes them form properly. Having slotted rotors should aid their use when they get hot.

I've been really happy with the lucas pads. Also they're pretty good price too. They don't need to be bedded in (at least not in the traditional way), a couple of hard brakes and they're good to go.

Unfortunately, if you want pads that don't squeal, go back to the standard Brembo ones or other milder street pads and and just swap the Racebrakes ones over for track days.
