corona RT142: yeah the brake pads make a world of difference, i think you'll find that the squeal your hearing is from the diffenent compound that the brake pads are made out of i'm not too sure that changing to DBA rotors is goin to change that but i'm not too sure so i might be wrong, how ever when the pads get warm the squeal should go away, they are performace pads.

FWD Celica: this is very well true, i would suspect that the disc might just need machining, and for 79rollaboy, this is the cheaper alternative, i would get the discs fixed up if you can and get some bendix ultimate pads on it, as far as slotted and drilled rotors are concerned i think you are wasting your money, your not goin to need them pulling up unless your:
a) racing
b) upgrading engines or other significant upgrades to speed
c) doin something stupid on the roads(this is a modify toyota club we do not support reckless driving, what you do in your car is your own business)

thats just my opinion, if i were you check to see if you can get the discs machined, change the pads, fix up the suspension. then i would just be happy with what you have, later on if you feel you need better braking power look at upgrading rotors and/or calipers, and for better handling the sway bars.
