Bendix Import Quiets or Ceramics. The Ceramics are low dust. Import Quiets are their own line of different compound pad material that is better on noise.

Also when swapping the pads make sure you get your rotors machined. If you replace the pads without machining the rotors you will still have quite a bit of squeal when stopping.

you are not supposed to machine cross drilled rotors, or they could crack though..... should i just replace the pads?

If you want to, it is up to you. If your rotors are glossy, ribbed, or have a somewhat mirror finish they will continue to make noise.
