Brakes Squealing
Problem started when my brakes started making small squeaks, then It just started getting worse every time I come to a stop, So i changed the pads all around but I noticed that the pads had plenty of life left in them(not sure if they were aftermarket cause I just bought the car) so I switched them out anyways, now they still squeal, and I know its coming from the front because I put some quite disc chemicals on the front rotors and it worked for like 3 days then started squealing again. Here's what Im experiencing:
-Starts squealing when coming to a stop after 10 minutes of driving from a cold start
-Shaking feeling when braking from 45 mph
Whats the best cost efficient option I can do as of now to stop it from squealing (need to buy plane tickets soon)
Thanks

shaking is typically warped rotors. have them turned if you can or replace them.
in my experience brake compounds are the main culprit for brake squeal. the common belief is that semi-metallic pads are more prone to noise than ceramic pads, although i've had noise with both. the best bet to have quiet brakes is to go with OEM pads; in this case honda.
i just had my honda rotors turned and installed all new honda replacement pads and have quiet and firm brakes. i spent maybe 90ish from HandA.com and had the pads in a week.

Did you install the shims that go with the brake pads? If you left those out, your brakes will make noise. How did your old pads look? Even wear on both sides of the pad?
