If you want rotors.... goto Ebay... pick up some vented discs for the front. These will work fine for daily driving as long as you dont auto-cross. Go to Autozone/ Advanced Auto/ Walmart ... and get new pads for the front along with new brake pads for the drums in the rear. Take off your drums and take them to a dealership. Have them grind them down a bit and make them a little more level. Your looking at 1/2 hour labor. Not bad. Once you have the drum/rotors off ... check to see if the little cylinders are leaking. If so, replace them. Simple as pluging them in where the old ones were. If not, leave them. Put the new pads on, close the drum and put the rotor on and new pads there and your done. A saturday afternoon project. Spend MAYBE 300. And you get to play with your car.

Also, that squeaking sound is the warning pin the the pad letting you know its getting low. You may not even have to get new rotors. It could just be pads........ which is my guess. New pads all the way around will cost about 80-100 bucks for the best. 1 Hour project, if that. Most anyone who has any clue about cars should be any to help. Its about as difficult as changing oil.

Does the squeaking stop when you break? If so... the above is true.
