My ap racing brakes are really squeaky, is there a better street pad then the stock ap racing pads?

Did you bed the pads? I find the Mintex Extreme pads only squeal occasionally under light braking, and mostly when the car has been street driven a few weeks in a row. I recommend a heavy dose of auto-cross to get things squeak free.

As implied in ChrisSlicks post, keeping a good, healthy transfer layer is important to these high performance pads. Re-bedding from time to time is generally a good idea. You can also try applying some high-temp anti-squeal, like Permatex's Ceramic Extreme Brake Parts Lubricant.

It's not a wonder-fix, but does a pretty good job of getting rid of most noise. The best part is that is stays put until 1600°F, waaaaayyy better than the typical parts store stuff.
