A constant squeak or periodic (squeak-squeak-squeak)?

Do not grease your brakes.

Missing pad shims and brake rotor runout can cause squeaking.

its like both kinds of squeaks... like sometimes it'll be a constant squeak...other times it'll be periodic as if it would only squeak on one part of the disc and thats it...it annoys me so much and i'm thinkin about replacing my discs and pads...i figure i'll just upgrade em to a brembo disc and hawk pads...but the thing that's stopping me from this is the calipers...i have 15 inch wheels and i wanna upgrade my calipers too...problem is the guy at the shop says that i can't cuz my wheels are too small..is that true? if not what kind of calipers are better but cheap that will fit under 15 inch wheels?

ITR calipers with 282mm rotors will fit your 15" wheels. (Your stock rototors are 262mm.)

The most likely cause is worn brake pads. Have you removed the wheels to check the thickness of both pads, on both sides of the rotor (including the inside, which you can't see unless you take the wheels off)?
