Default brakes and rotors??

I currently have stock brakes and rotors with plenty of pad left and no groves in the rotor and they do not seem to be warped yet every damn time i stop they squel like a pig. I was wondering if the red brake pad spray would be a good idea and if i decide to replace them I was looking on EBAY and found several different ones like Gripforce, GM, Hawk pads, and TR1 rotors, has anybody tried any of these and if so good or bad.
Thanks

Default RE: brakes and rotors??

I use PowerSlot Rotors (cryo-treated) from the TireRack. Even their non-treated rotors are superior to the OEMs, primarily because their slots do 3 things:

1) Prevent uneven brake pad deposits on the rotor surface (and the resulting pulsating brake pedal)

2) Prevent glazing of the pads due to infrequent use, resulting in squeeling

3) Keeps the rotor cooler during hard braking excursions.

Hawk pads are recommended by PowerSlot; however, the stock pads are very good as well.
