Pads are probably down to nothing, unless it only happens after the car sits, then it could be some rust built up and it squeaks till it comes off. It depends on the quality of products you want to get as to how much you wil spend, you can go cheap and regret it, or go expensive and get a good product and great stopping.

If you can afford it, check out the group buy on the Rotora big brake kit. It's awesome and the price is very good !!

Just get some cross drilled or slotted replacements and some Axxis Metalmasters. Less than $300.
