who is telling you they are drums?? what model 00? EX? are they looking at them and saying they are drums? they should be shot... and maybe you should get new brakepads...
I think your gonna need some new brake pads because yours are worned down too much.
The squeeling can be from worm brake pads or a build-up of brake dust. You should clean your pads with brake dust cleaner and see if it goes away. If it doesn't, that means that you have worn out pads.
or get antisqueak.........

Or you can get some antisquek if they are not worn down and still good. Mine are like that and the pads are very thick, but I did not put antisquek on them so they squeal a little bit, but now gone after putting some on.

lol. dude just get new brake pads.
Replacing the rear disc breaks are a bitch, you need a special tool that turns and twists to compress the piston, but the front you can do with just a c-clamp!

And yes replace your brakes,
thanks fo the replies but ya i knew they where disc but whats the tool you nneed for the rear brakes cause i already did the front last week
also check your parking brake, you should make sure it's adjusted properly, and be sure to USE IT every once in a while... it says so explicitely in your owners manual... ok i'm a nerd, i admit it, i read the owners manual

reason being that it aligns the rear calipers to the disk
For the rear, ,a special tool isn't necessay, in fact, a large(broad) flat head screwdriver will suffice.
haha ya i use my parking brake everyonce in a while.... when im power sliding a turn for shits and giggles
