Got the car back last night, still squeaking. Could it be toasted rotors? Calipers?? 1998 EO SVT, silver frost, stock 2002 Ashcroft Homes Albany model, that's why the SVT is stock!

I should have mentioned that the squeak coming from the rear ONLY occurs when I tap the brakes - if I step down firmly on the pedal, or when cruising, the rear brakes are silent. I also had the brakes cleaned out, so I'm kinda stumped as to what might be causing the noise. 1998 EO SVT, silver frost, stock 2002 Ashcroft Homes Albany model, that's why the SVT is stock!
