any kind of upgrade to get rid of the Squeaky brakes?

A few quick panic stops or lightly ride with foot on brake for a short time usually helps or wear ear plugs and just ride

The panic stops have to hard and frequent, enough to get the brakes hot. 50 to 20 mph should do it. If it doesn't do it, clean the rotors with brake cleaner or alcohol. If that doesn't do it, remove the pads, lay a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface and stroke the pads a few times on it. Then apply a quieting compound like Disc Brake Quiet on the backs, not the sheet metal piece that's clipped on, but the steel backer.

Big fan of EBC sintered copper - they tend to run quieter than most, can take a lot of punishment, and break in quick.

Numbers for the Ace ... same pads should also work on the Rally, but don't quote me on that, eh.

Rear - FA317R
Ft Lt - FA165R
Ft Rt - FA135R

Often squeaky brake problems start with the accumulation of excessive brake pad dust. The least expensive and less laborious way, to begin with, is to pressure wash the calipers and the rotors. Don't push the spray nozzle up into the caliper, keep back a couple of feet or so. If that doesn't work then do the hard braking method and last but not least apply the Disc Brake Quiet as RICZ mentioned. Good luck

I have tried washing, hard braking and brake quiet…. Nothing seems to work… at some point i am going to just upgrade the brakes to ebc ones.

The hard brake should be like 50 to 20. Repeat a few times. Don’t come to a complete stop as to let brakes cool.

I noticed the squeaky brakes as well. I'll have to try this.
