Is there a slight lip on your discs Shady? This could cause squeeling with new pads. If not try chamfering an edge on all sides of the pads with a file, not too much mind, just enough to give a lead up to the pad

I've got Mintex sprint pads on the front with standard discs and this was also the same setup on my old Evo3. On both cars I had/have a problem every now and again with a grinding noise a little bit like when pads are worn and you have that metal to metal grinding. With my Evo3 I had the brakes checked and pulled apart and cleaned and no intermittant noise for a while and same thing when I've washed the wheels well. Hence I'm figuring it's brake dust build up. Maybee I need slotted rotors as they dislodge dust buildup don't they???

Did you whack plenty of copper slip on when you put the new pads on?

Copper based anti-Sieze/Squeal grease.

Basically the stuff needs to go everywhere the pad comes into contact with the caliper/piston and carrier - then with a bit of luck all your squealing should disappear
