is this true?
Brakes, (rotors/pads), are a normal wear & tear item and will not be replaced under warranty. I've had the squeaky brakes since the car was brand spanking new. Neither the dealership nor Sears, Midas or Bubba could find anything wrongs.
The clutch, if it's defective, will be replaced, (like slipping after 2k miles). At least my dealer would do it.

The stock brakes squeek because they are semi-metalic pads. Just about any semi-metalic pad you replace them with will squeal as well.
If you want to eliminate the squeal, go with organic pads.

When you buy pads, they will say on the box, or you can ask the manufactuer if they are organic, semi-metalic, or metalic pads.
In regards to upgraded brake rotors, your only options are the WP kits sold by Nopi starting at $1400, and they state what wheel size you will need to fit the various kits. Or the shark Racing big brake kit, which does work with the stock 15" wheels.
You could always get a custom set of willowwoods or BAER made up but you are looking at $2000 per axle for those.
Besides with your pimpin 18" wheels, you won't have any problem fitting monster brakes and calipers on there!
