Help! Brakes squeaking!

I have Brembo Calipers. I just replaced my rotors and break pads. Project Mu 2 piece slotted/dimpled aero rotors in front and same 1 piece in rear with Project Mu pads. Braking is fine pedal feels good and stops real good but I am getting bad squeaking when I start braking at slow speeds.. I bedded them when I first got them. I now have about 500 miles on them.. I noticed when I first drive my car in the mourning for the first few stops it doesnt squeak. Also when im on the highway I gave it a few 80mph to 20 mph stops and the squeaking went away for a while but soon came back... It mostly happens when I lightly hit the brakes but if I hit them firmly all is fine... Its driving me NUTZ any input would be great! Thanx

did you clean using brake cleaner to remove all dust and use the brake lube on the backing and pins? That should take care of the squeaking.

it's a thick grease like substance used to lubricate the pins, so the pads can move freely and it is also applied to the backing plate to isolate the pad so vibrations between the pad and piston/body are minimized. this help to reduce squeel. you should have got a small packet of the stuff with the new pads.

On another note, what did you do with your stock Rotors? Did you keep them or were they already trashed?
