Since everybody in the discount retail parts biz sells brake stuff, it's virtually impossible for us to buy that stuff for any less than they are selling it for. Items like that are very competitive. We are sticking to other less available types of parts that aren't sold at chain parts stores mostly... at least for now.If only Parts Gorilla sold brake stuff.
Ceramic pads will fix it. I love those things. Put a set on my company car Ford Explorer at about 95K (it used to squeak at every stop). Haven't had to touch it since. I'm at 160K now and they are still nice and quiet. I bet I get another 30K out of them easily.
Not terribly expensive and worth every penny.

Not sure if this is true or not, it's what I read recently in my Popular Mechanics magazine....The brake squeaking is actually from the movement of the pad against the caliper during braking creating a harmonic squeal. Ceramic pads do help, but usually because they have a teflon spacer on the backside that isolates the pad from the caliper. This is why they make a grease for it as well, but teflon lasts a lot longer than the grease.
