I've not looked into uprating my brakes see no point it will stop on its nose quickly enough.

Have you tried going down a dual carriageway doing 70-80 come off at slip and brake all the way down?

Unless of course the road quite and you can it without using the slip.

Is the squeak there all the time or just under braking?

Changing the brake fluid every 20K helps keeps the brakes sharpe.
