Default Brake pads for a daily driver

I have a 92 si and I put some ultimates on a while ago. I'm looking for something more streetable. the ultimates dont seem to bite well untill they get really warmed up. So what are you people running.

Hawks are pretty good. AEM pads also get good feedback for DD.

I also noticed that the ultimates squeek alot under normal driving. Do these squeak also.

My friend has AEM, he says barely any brake dust and their perform flawlessly. I am currently overheating my car's brakes everyday so that I can get some of those.

I have PBR/AXXIS Brake Pads on my GSR disc brake setup. Works like a champ combo'ed with Brembo Blanks.

AEM pads worked well for me on the street, I even tried tracking them once, but they disintegrated in a few laps. I also noticed when I got my rotors cryo'd it got rid of dust and squealing, running EBC Yellow Stuff R-compound pads now, pretty good cold bite, but they don't really come alive until they get good and hot, and they don't tear up the rotors at all..

I like my ultimates I do get a lot of brake dust under hard driving, but I dont mind too much. They dont squeak either.

So no one else is getting some squeaking from their ultimates. Because once mine start to warm up, they squel like crazy. I do have to change my rotors, could this make them squek.
