Properly Changing Front Brake Rotors and Pads

I was wondering if anyone had a link, etc that would give me the proper instructions for removing and changing the front brake hardware, including the rotors and pads. I want to put on ceramic pads, I have a horrible squeak all the way from 60mph down to the stop that just started a month or so ago and is ungodly annoying. Also, the rotors the dealership put on my car at 26K are already warped (car now has 34K on it). They were non-OEM rotors but I think they were pretty cheap. Any recommendations as to what kind of rotors/pads would be good that I could get from the auto store (advanced auto, o reillys, auto zone, and napa are the four in my town). Also, instructions for lubricating the brake hardware would be great. I know this may deem a long list of instructions, but just general information on getting the components off and doing it properly would be greatly helpful. Thanks guys!

go pick up the haynes manual, it has everything you need to know about changing out you pads and rotors.

I did a how-to just now, from the Haynes, if you can't get one. Check the How-to section.

My brake setup consists of Bendix rotors from advanceauto, and powerstop 9-1-1 pads from phil's auto online.Very happy with them.
