squeeling brakes

ok so about 6 months ago i replaced my pads, all was well. but now i'm gettin a squeek whenever i brake. most noticably when i begin to drive. I got the pads looked at and they are still good. Rotors are in decent shape as well... any ideas on why this is going on??? any info or advice?

thanks!

What pads dd you install? Apply more anti-squeal and it will remove the noise, but if you pads like Hawk HPS or Axxis/PBR the noise will come back after a couple months, just have to live with it.

all it takes is for them to overheat once and they squeal. you can try this anti-squeal stuff they have at autozone but it wore off after about a month or so for me.

Or just live with the squeal, depends on how loud it is though...
