What are some good brake pads made for 1st gens?

Im trying to find some good pads for my car, because the ones i have on squeak very much. i have an 82 GSL, all disk brakes, drum brakes are a headache in itself. what are some good brake pads i could buy, preferrably before sevenstock so i dont roll up squeaking!!!! thanks.

Bonez performance pads are nice and grabby.RP in TX sells them.They do dust a bit though,but they dont squeek.For dust free, performance stopping power,EBC Greens work good.I run them at all 4 corners with my 12" brakes.If you just want to stop the squeek,then go to Pepboys or someplace and get some non-metallic pads.If any of the shims are gone or the rotors are glazed,new pads may not cure the squeek.

non metallic pads stop the squeak? my rotors are new, well at least for the front, but the squeak seems to be coming from the rear. ill check the shims as well. thanks. by the way i need pads soon cuz SS7 is in 2 days, so the place in texas wont work for me, sorry!!!
