Car has way less than 10k miles. I wouldnt think it would need brakes yet. It does has Eradda Speed rotors on it. They only do it going slow. It drives me crazy crusing through town and the brakes squeel like a stuck pig.
Any suggestions?

If you're just looking to stop the squeak, I give another vote for EBC Reds. My GCSRT8 squeaked until I replaced the (front) stock pads. Now the backs have started bitching and need replacing. Anyways, braking seems not to have suffered; however it is not a Viper and so performance is relative.
Edit: I also replaced the rotors. Be sure to bed properly.
Aggressive pads will sqeeeeeeek, sounds like poop but stops fast. I would recommend an amp for the radio and better pads for stopping. If you want to kill all sqeeeeeeeeks, EBC will get a lot of support. You are on the Alley, so pleazze have a fast car with great sqeeeeeeeeeeeeky breaks (yes, I am meen).
BTW Boost, your TNT headers on my car are holding up great, TY agaaaain
I got rid of my brakes. Now I keep a rather large stone in the passanger side. It's tied to a rope and the other end is attached to the car. I just toss it out when I need to stop. I forget where I got this idea from but it works great!
a little grease will help the squeak, but stopping might become a issue, but atleast people won't think your brakes are shot and can't afford to replace them.
In the Gen 1's and Gen 2's, the stock pads (while great for road coursing) would squeak. Go to you local road course track and try and find the higher performance cars with brakes that don't squeak. The racing pads (normally stock on Vipers) are designed for higher heat applications...so street driving rarely sees the same dynamics that tracking the car would. Most of the time you won't be able to heat the pads up to designed operating temperature to have them stop squeaking.
For street use and around town fun driving, EBC greens will give you better stopping power, less dust and no noise compared to stock. However, if you go to the track, the will not hold up as well as your stock pads.
Like most mods...it all depends on your application and current car setup.
mine did the same thing i swapped them for ebc greens and it didnt help i would even use the e- brake to come to a complete stop at lights so i wasnt embaressed. my car need new rotors i swapped them and it was quiet for a month or 2 but i am rough on the brakes.
Mine squeaked real bad after they had developed cracks from the center hole in the rotor(they were drilled and slotted). Just went with a slotted rotor and it has been much better and less embarrassing.
