Ok so I bought my Celi almost 2 years ago. It drove fine for about 3 - 4 months, then the brakes started squeaking. After a few weeks of this I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had them rotated. Well now the other side is squeaking, so I can't rotate again. So my question is, what is suggested for a good set of brakes? It's my only car, daily driver, and I don't really hit the track.

The brakes have a metal tab that touches the rotor when the pads wear down enough and it produces a chirping sound, therefore letting you know you need new pads. Take a look at your pads/brakes and if you see this tab against the rotor, then you need new pads. (A note about cheap autozone pads, which are sadly what i have right now.. anywho they are metallic so they squeak when breaking, where a ceramic pad usually does not make noise.)
