Default Squeaky Brakes - 05' RR - Help!

Hey Guys,

So I gotta get this figured out! I have spent tons and tons of time doing research on these brakes and I still cant find the right fix!

Someone on this forum has got to have the answer I'm sure!

Recently, I had new rims put on my 05" Full Size Range Rover... I changed the rims from 19" to 20".

Soon after, the Summer weather got extremely hot (110F) and I started to notice my brakes squeaking... I can not have squeaky brakes!

They began to get worse, so I figured it was time to take them in to Midas to have a brake job done on them...

I went in and they decided to Re-Surface all 4 Rotors, and also put these big Hot Shot Ceramic Pads on them...

Being only 17 years old, when I heard it was going to cost 675.00, it definitely resulted me in being broke...

Now, I had them done on August 14th, 2012... Today is September 2nd, 2012 and as I am pulling into the Garage, guess what I heard! A nice little squeak!

I already have an appointment made for tomorrow morning to take them in, but I am wanting to get some info from you guys... What is the best quality Brake Pad for these vehicles that prevent squeaking??? I understand that the softer the compound the less squeak, but more brake dust, but really that doesn't matter to me, since I clean the rims weekly...

They squeak as I am almost completely stopping... Its about 5mph to 10mph that I hear them as I slightly push in on the pedal!

Any help is appreciated guys!

Thanks,

Cole Mayfield
