I had metal masters installed all around and paired them up with Brembo rotors. I know the tech used anti-squeal grease. I've driven about 3000 thousand miles and they are still squealing. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

They squeal when...
I brake late at moderate pressure
I'm in stop and go traffic
I slam on the brakes for a second

They don't squeal when...
The car is cold
I brake really light or really hard over a long distance
I'm coming off an off ramp at high speed

I love these brakes but the squeal is driving me insane! Thanks for your help.

I just fixed a brake squeal that drove me nuts for a while. It comes from the pads being to loose on the caliper bracket. The guide hardware on your caliper bracket that the pad sits on needs to be adjusted or shimmed. Find the brake thats squealing, pull the caliper off and see if the pads are sitting secure or have a slight amount of play in them. (up & down) If you find play in one or both pads you can shim the pad guide hardware. Remove the pad and remove one of the pad clips from the caliper bracket. Cut a small piece of black tape and place it on the back side of the clip. Reinstall the clip and put the pad back on. If the pad has no more play lub up the hardware again and put it all back together. If you still have play shim the other clip with another piece of black tape. Don't put two pieces under one clip. Once you have the pads sitting firmly in the guides your squeal will dissappear.

Don't make the pads to tight, they need to be seated firmly yet able to move freely.
