I ran the yellow stuff on my wife's jeep, she complained about the squealing but they would put you through the windshield. I wound up putting in some basic ceramics after they wore out, now I have to stand on the pedal to get it to slow down. She like it better because they don't squeal. I may just put dual piston calipers to get it to brake better off of a Grand Cherokee.
See if you can buy the pads with the same "Professional Grade" lining as the D52 pads on my GrandWagoneer. Lots of grab, friction rating FF, semi-metallic,
no-squeal, reasonably priced.
Here's the details.
Mfc: Raybestos
Pad shape: D52
Edge Code: BPI-LC-FF
Mfc Desc: Professional Grade
Part Number: PGD52M
Type of Lining: Semi-Metalic
The G Wagoneer only has a single pot sliding caliper - nothing special. Yesterday I was carrying close to a full load (about 900 lbs) and it braked well, only got the linings hot enough to smell once. Of course I allowed for extra stopping distance and all the usual precautions with extra weight in the back.
