Brakes squeaking and squealing all the time
I just got in on the group buy from the GD section and got the Brembo rotors (slotted + dimpled), PBC metal pads, SS lines - everything from the group buy.
The brakes are on and have been driven for about 1500 miles now. However, occasionally I can hear the brakes squealing while reversing or driving at slower speeds (there probably is a higher pitched squeal at higher speeds too but I can't hear it due to the road noise, wind noise, etc). When I am braking to a stop, the squealing gets pretty loud.
What could be the problem here? Have any of the other guys who bought the brakes from the group buy had similar problems? I have a gen 4 BTW.
Thanks for any input.

Go to any place that does brake work, and ask them to apply some BG brand squeal stop ( its BG brand...but im not sure if its squeal stop, but something to that effect) They just scuff the pads a bit, and soak the solution on them...it worked for mine, but they groan a bit in reverse, oh well.
