Cool squeaking brakes

I have stop techs on the front of my 05 WRX and soon as the brakes get warm they squeak really bad, i tried the axis pads they came with i bed in the brakes by following the instructions to the t and they were fine at first then started to squeak, so i pulled that pads and found they were cracked so i replaced the pads with EBC reds and then bed those in via the instructions which were ok too for a bit then now they are squeaking too. are there any performance pads out there that fit these calipers that don't squeak??

I do know there are many many pads that fit the stoptech brakes, but EBC are not known for squealing. You may want to try some anti squeal on the back of the pads. May also be a ood idea to check if these are cracked too. If so, you may have a problem with the calipers. Also, avoid hawk as they squeal bad
