I would avoid the NAPA premium pads. I have them on mine and the have squeaked under very light breaking ever since they were put on. The dealer told me they squeak because NAPA puts small amounts of metal in their pads.

If they squeak, the rotors are either warped or have deposits on them. Lots of pads are metallic and don't squeak.

I recently replaced mine with the EBC Yellow Stuff. Felt an improvement on the braking efficiency but that thing makes a lot of dust. The aluminum rims get dark grey very fast.
I'll try the Red Stuff next time, which apparently "bites" less but according to EBC is a lot cleaner.
