Everybody's front and rear brakes squeak & squeal, front worse than rear but rear more frequently.  Let them get wet and they can really holler until they dry out good.  

Ignore it or try to fight it, them squeal fighters can tell you how to do war on the squeaks.

You can look down inside your front caliper and see your remaining pad depth, just go take a look with a flashlight.  Keep a set of front pads on hand, they wear out much sooner than the rear drum shoes.

Your rear drum shoes take forever to wear out, order a set of rubber drive bumpers if you need rear shoes because the rubber bumpers will be worn out too.

done right with a little antisqueal on the backside of the pads a light sand of the rotor - and your brakes do not have to squeak

you guys suggest keeping an extra set on hand.....where's the cheapest place to get a set online?

by the way, are the ebc? sp? pads any good? do they have a tendancy to squeek? ???

thanks alot for all the advice

anyways-, is ronayers still the cheapest place to purchase brake pads? the closest dealer here claims he cant get any for nearly 2 weeks

It might not have been...well, maybe it was...but maybe a little feedback would help.

- Did you inspect your brakes?  
- Have you cleaned them?  
- Did you try to use any anti-squeal on the backs of the pads?

Why do you think that you need to shop for brake pads with only 1200 miles on the clock?
