I had to change pads over Christmas and used Raybestos pads from Kragen Auto, they were in stock and Kragen was open. The fronts have been fine, the rears squeal like a pig, even with a well applied dose of anti-squeal. The fronts came with anti-squeal pads the rears did not. I tried to buy the pads as a seperate sale item and they weren't available. Next time I'll use Rover pads. They come with the anti squeal pads. I'll just make sure to order them ahead of time.

I to had a problem with the squeal when I had Mintex pads on the rear. I switched to LR rear pads with the anti-squeal shims on the back of the pad and my rears still squeal at slow speeds, but not has much as with the Mintex pads. I am going to pick up some Mercedes Brake Pad paste or something similar to coat the back sometime soon.

I changed my pads to Ferodo's just a couple months ago. So far no problems and they look like OEM pads but I'm not sure. They came with an anti-squeal pads on the backs.
