Any one know where I can get some for the front brakes?

Currently having issues with my front brakes chirping above 40mph. The chirping noise from the front brakes appears to get louder as I go over bumps but stops once brakes are applied. I recently changed my brake pads to Winmax W2 and I've been getting this chirping noise on the front driver side tire. I then decided to change out the rotors as well. That did not work and the chirp was still there.

Cut it short, last night I put back the stock brake pads and make sure the dust shield was not rubbing against anything. Went for a drive and chirp was still there. I came to the conclusion that my retaining clip may be holding the brake pads loosely causing them bounce up and down when I go over bumps which in turn makes the chirping noise.
