After changing my rotors and pads all the way around i am getting a squealing sound as a drive, not real loud, but it is just annoying. is this soemthing i have done wrong, or if anyone knows of a trick to get rid of this please help me. I did not do anyhitng but open the boxes and put the goods on. i wonder if that was where i went wrong. should i have done some sort of dressing to the pads or rotors first?

My brakes squeak right as I'm almost about to come to a full stop.. I have tried 4 different kinds of pads from factory to organic and they all do it. I got new factory rotors and new pads and still the same squeak.. I have given up. I have heard from 3 people so far that they got the squeaking to stop by changing to slotted rotors. When these new rotors get ready to be replaced I'll try that but, till then I'll just turn up the stereo.

You could also try putting some anti seize on the back of the pads. That keeps the squeaking down on mine but, it only last for a few days..
