I presume you have the original brake pads.
So yes, I would go ahead and try different pads - and I would also recommend having the rotors turned to ensure you have a 'true-flat' rotor surface...

OEM, EBC Reds, or Carbotech Bobcats should be fine.
With any pad you choose, you need to add anti-squeal compound to the back side of the pads.

No brake fade but a ridiculous amount of squealing. Picture nails dragging down a chalkboard every time you brake. Doesn't matter what speed or pressure on the pedal. You can hear the issue here: https://youtu.be/24uqEpDq5e4

Can you describe your 'front brake pad issue'?
Brake fade?
Accelerated wear?
Noise / dust?

I have a 2019 F60 JCW that seems to have front brake pad issues. Going to pull them out this weekend but wanted to get your opinions regarding replacement pads. Do you think I should go with OEM (Brembo),EBC red stuff, or some other brand for cold/hot temp street aggressive street driving?
