about the squeaking, do you do a lot of city (low speed) stop & go driving?

I only had 15k on mine. Seems insane but worth it. Wasn't very expensive.

Mixed. Some country back roads, errands around town, some higway. Probably 1/3 each. No track work though.

If you don't have any wheel coating around the next time you give it a wash, the other thing you can do is to make sure that you dry the rotors before putting the car away (or take the car for a quick spin immediately afterwards).

The squeaking sucks but it's normal. Since there don't seem to be any bulletproof fixes out there outside of changing out components, I just brake harder.
I did both of those yesterday. Helped, but I still got pools of rusty water.

Stock pads? Rarely get squeaky brake complaints with stock pads.
