4.8is Non OEM Brake pad recommendations???

I bought a set of EBC Green Stuff pads for my 04 4.8is AND for my 07 4.8is.

The ones on the 07 not a peep out of them. The ones on the 04 squeal worse than a gaggle of piggies. When you scare pedestrians it is bad.

Have had them off 3 times and nothing works

2 kinds of caliper grease
BG pad treatment
Beveled the edges
Turned rotors
Replaced rotors
Waved a rubber chicken over them

Nada. ECS and EBC won't take them back so I have to toss them and find another solution.

I want less dust than OEM pads. I have used Mintex Redbox pads for years but they do not make them for the 4.8is.

Any suggestions?
