repaired my disc brakes
due to the lousy quality of the disc brakes provided by Proton, and after changing the brake pads for the third time in 5+ years, the surface of the discs became very uneven, causing this metal squeaking sound whenever I brake my car...
couldn't stand the sound, so I sent the car to one of those workshop which does disc brake trimming....
they took out the disc brake...
after the trimming process, walahh... smooth as silk...
damage to wallet - RM45

Brake squeeling is due to your brake pads. Is from the pad materials being used. So evethough u trim down ur disc will somehow make the sound go away, it wont be for long when the sound starts coming back.
Use a diferent pad material will help minimizing the squeel. Trim the disc only when u feel vibration when braking.
Anyway, just my humble opinion.

yea... I somewhat agree also, but the fact is that the disc already kena "makan" very deep in the centre, with the side still quite thick, thus causing it to scrap the metal side of the brake pads, so I have no choice but to trim the disc... :)
yeah, that's the thing with all Waja disc. It's like Merc and beemer's disc brake. Samething after quite a while it sorta makan deeper and deeper.
