brakes

Not always. The noise could be b/c you hit a patch of crappy material in the pad, or maybe your pad has been contaminated with oil/gas/brake fluid. Take the wheels off, and take a peek through the inspection hole in the caliper, and also check the wear indicators. If it looks close, remove the caliper and measure the pads using a vernier. Check in the Chilton manual for the minimal thickness and replace if necessary. Also do the same for the rotor, and check it for grooves and cracks. Crack is bad Service the brakes accordingly, check the retaning clips and return springs and lubricate them with antiseize. Lube your caliper sliding bolts with silicone grease and put anti-rattle compound on the pads when assembling.

prolly brakes are gone....how long have you had them on and how is your driving style....if its been a long time and/or you brake like no tomorrow....time for new pads.
If you have to get new rotors and pads...suggest getting brembos cross drilled rotors and pads from Elite Auto @ midland and finch...brembo's are about $70-$100 a side and the pads are about $45. so for $250 you'll have a top of the line braking system.
just a thought

some brake noise is normal. does it happen when warm or cold? if when cold, it could be moisture buildup, which just gets burnt off. does the pedal feel lower to the floor than normal? If so, you need pads. check it out anyways.
