Default Cold Start Brake Noise

My car is no longer under the basic warranty but was wondering if there was ever a fix for this? My brakes pretty much squeak when I am backing out of the garage and my first couple of stops but goes away after that.

This totally eliminated the problem for good? Where can I get these, Sewell?

Yes you can get them of sewell, I will be honest I have used akebono brake pads and once they came to 40% of its life it started squealing like everyone is experiencing. Then i changed those pads out for OEM low dust and replaced the old shim kit with the new shim kit I got on sewell. I have not heard a single squeak, now i am about 20% pad left and I ordered low dust pads again for sewells. Both pads are great I guess i prefer OEM.
