Check the inner pad on both front and rears, I have seen BRAND NEW pads on the outside but almost metal on metal inside due to seized slide pins, which is VERY common on mustangs. And buy cheap, get cheap, OEM or a top aftermarket brake company for parts (Brembo, Hawk, wilwood etc.). My brother got the cheapest crap for his rsx and the squeal every now and then. Their labour times are a true f*ck job though, I work at a Ford dealer and it's 1.4 hours of labour to do front and another 1.4 (1.8 if 4x4) to do the rears, but we charge $100 for labour on a brake job, and I'm in Canada!

The squeeking from the rear is normal for those rotors. I had them on my car and they did the same thing. Squeeked more so when it was wet out. Eventually the squeek qill go away. Normally, I am a proponent of dealerships, but damn, it seems like everyone outside of wisconsin seems to be a bunch of crooks

If you can do your front bearings, you can do rotors. Some people, if I ever caught anyone stealing anything of mine I'll shoot their ass. Ask the guy I caught siphoning diesel out of my truck that hauled ass with a couple 00 pellets in his back.

If you can wipe your butt on your own, you can pretty much change rotors :)
