Re: squeeling brakes
I'd say that the bargain basement pads are the cause of your noise. With the front wheel drive cars, it is always best to get something good, top of the line by Bendix or Raybestos are some of the premiun pads out there. With my Regal, I used to get them at the GM dealer for $66 a set.
Does your husband know what he's doing with brakes? No offense but they're not something to play around without experience. Some of us here have done thousands of brake jobs. There are critical pieces of hardware that should be replaced or at least cleaned and lubed up properly. There are adhseives to hold the pads to the calipers and so on.
My best guess, you'll have to go with a premium set of pads and have the rotors resurfaced. The person that cuts the rotors should know what type of finish to put on them, I always left them with a coarser finish than most people. This helps the pads break in and not glaze up right away, which causes the screech that you have.
