Brake pad recommendations

Anyone have pads you recommend for the GE fits? Interested in anything that will stop faster than stock, but not looking for serious racing stop distances, grabiness, squeaking or tons of brake dust...
Basically if there is an option that is just better than stock with no obvious downsides except maybe price then I'll consider it, otherwise it's just going to be good old OEM.

I have been using EBC Green Stuff brake pads with good results.
I bought a new set from someone on this site at a good price, but if I recall thery don't cost anything too crazy at shops.

Recently had front brakes replaced with O.E.M. pads and NAPA Ultra Premium polymer coated rotors . Rotors were less than $54 each .

I am a big fan of Stoptech Street Pads. Tirerack has them.

Thanks guys! I am still thinking about this but I am likely to lean towards OEM. I'm assuming they aren't terribly expensive and it will allow me to tell my dad that I followed his advice, instead of ignoring it yet again and then having to admit that the non OEM part has something I don't like about it.

Also, for simplicity I am only going to change pads unless rotors are out of round. If I'm unhappy how that works out -- I may have to eat the cost of a rotor change afterwards.

This topic is about Raybestos and NAPA Ultra Premium polymer coated rotors . https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forum...pics/5056482/1 . Looks like they're very similar . The rotors purchased from NAPA are UP 86087CR at $52.49 each . They may be cheaper with a discount form NAPA .

EBC Green Stuff! Very nice initial bite. Can't comment on longevity as I didn't get a chance to put many miles on them.
