Just curious to see if any body has any suggestions on what to do for squeaky brakes in a 550?

the squeaking sound is annoying but the pads were checked about a month ago and were at 10mm

Try doing some hard braking. 10 hard stops from 25mph and then another 10 from 35mph. Don't drag the brakes and make sure you do it in a safe area.
