Brake pad recommendations

[NewKid]

I would NOT recommend Raybestos EHT.

I have Raybestos EHT pads and rotors, front and rear on 3 different sedans.
Initially I was trilled with their performance - being GG vs the OEM being FF - what a bite...
The issue I have is all of the cars developed brake judder after less then 10k when not completely cold.
On the last one, 3 years old Mazda 3, I had enough and replaced the front EHT pads with Akebono ACT (FF) and the judder when down to very acceptable level (barely noticeable) and stayed like that for the 3k miles having them.

These days all the cars have very good brake assist, so I would prefer to stay away from very high friction offerings. Uneven material deposit, or promotion a hot spots, or whatever - it has been only headaces in my experience.

I tried the EHT pads on my Acadia. I want to say that these pads perform quite nice. You get the grab of a semi-metallic and no fade of the ceramic. I love the way they work. HOWEVER, on more than one occasion, I would be on the highway and boom, out of nowhere and WITHOUT applying the brakes, they would start to vibrate as if I was losing a wheel bearing. I did ride it out both times and the noise vanished after about 3-4 miles. Then, about a YEAR apart??? SCARY on a trip...So I'm wondering if I just got a bad batch. Also, I develop a squeal on occasions. For this, I just rode the brakes a bit and then left off and it went away--for weeks. They don't drag. I know when I have dragging and caliper issues but this is **** freaky. I'm going to go with the ACDelco gold...OEMs are just insane.
