My brakes squeak everytime i use them, and sometimes when im just driving around the will squeak for a second and then stop.

I have 4 wheel disc breaks and im not sure where its coming from so i replaced all 4 rotors and pads. That stoped it for about 10 minutes, then it goes right back to doing it again. So then i put the anti squeak compound on the back of the pads, that also stoped it for about 10 minutes and then same thing. Last night i went to Advancded auto parts and the guy said to try this spray, tried that it lasted about 5 minutes and then same thing.

Please some one give me some worthwile advice so i can stop it. Its so annoying and embarsing.

and if u install them correctly they won't squeak. make sure they are not wearing uneven cause no spray and no silencer compound will stop that.

They are installed correctly and are not wearing un even. Would i pick up OEM pads from a dealer? Any idea about how much they cost?

I'd suggest ordering them from manchester honda online... they'll be cheaper than if you walk into a dealer.

50-80 bucks each plus pads. about 20-40 bucks for both sides...

i will give them a try, im just gonna order the front pads. i hit up adnacded auto parts and the guy said to really try to lock up the brakes. So i got up to 80 on the way home tonight and just laid into them. Im hoping that will do it, but if not then i will go through the link you gave. Thanks

Your rotors are shot! Get them Blanchard ground , or replace them; your choice.

Just to add my two cents. I was told by a Honda mechanic that the best way to get rid of the brake squeaks is to have OEM pads installed. Hondas are touchy that way and non OEM pads on OEM rotors may not brake quietly no matter what you do...

I think its the pads, they are autzone crap, so ill try the link that was posted before.
