Stick to oe pads like Apec & BREMBO I’d get performance if i have big brake kit etc , also these pads create quite noises when braking applied

Have you tried the brembo pads mate
 
I got mine from Trevor at Perfromance parts RFT. These pads are so much better than the oem ones. Less dust, better bite and less fade. Would definately recommend them. :)

I bought and fitted these about a year ago, 22k mikes later still working great. No brake squeal or fade.
 
I have commented on this in my brake pad light thread - but I am wondering if I do not get OEM pads which is the best to get.

Not tracking the car but would like to get rid of the squealing which appears to be a result of the OEM pads.

I replaced the OEM pads for Redstuff half an year ago, completely solve the noise problem which was great but I can confirm that they fade very quickly, not recommended for very fast driving.
