Went out for a ride to test the brakes. Looked at all the replies again. I think i've diagnosed at least one (more) part of the problem. I remember someone mentioned in a recent post that theres this rubber thing which pulls the pad back when you take your foot off the brake..i think those need to be replaced. I was driving along, stepped on the brake to slow down a bit, took my foot off, about 1-2 seconds later i started hearing squeaking which lasted for about 3-4 seconds then it went away. I repeated the process several times and the results are the same. So i think this is where the pad(s) were just barely touching the rotor as they slowly move back. And unlike before, when i'm slowing to a stop, between 10-0mph the brakes squeak all the time.
