Default LT needs brakes thread (not ebrake cables)
The factory pads are squealing for some attention. I normally stick with factory brakes but I feel like some better friction coefficients.

What pads do you recommend that will improve braking performance, have low-dust qualities, and sing "Living on a Prayer" when clamped?

Low dust =/= braking performance

That said, Hawk HPS pads are one of the best available, and while the dust is increased, noise is low and modulation and performance is greatly improved.

Nissin :hsugh:

But seriously, they's good And even with less than 1/2 of the shims my car is supposed to have (and the front shims being crappy ones made in Mexico) the pads make no noise.
