mine are squeking due to cold weather and frozen precipitation in the braking area. if you press the brakes hard going from a high speed to a stop, it would heat the braking area evaporating any precipitation. do not slam on the brakes!. try that. if that doesn't work, then it is something else. lol

2002 C230 Kompressor coupe, white
mine squeaked like crazy until i had them replaced, at about 21,xxx miles, it cost me about $220 (including labor) to do them at the dealers, i had the stock ones replaced so it still has the same amount of brake dust. If your looking for ones with less brake dust search the forum, as this topic has been covered many times.
