Brembo squealing sound forever

PLEASE HELP! I have problem with my brembo brakes since the first day I bought my G in 2004. My brembo squealing all the time, I changed the pads twice already(2 different brand of pads), and reshape the rotor once(according to the bodyshop owner) but the sound is still there. I read through the forums and changed the pads under everyone's recommandation and it still squealing at the low speed before the red lights. Please can someone help me on this, and is my last option is change the rotors? Thanks.

Use OEM pads with the shims installed, and use plenty of brake grease on the sides and back of the shim. I like 3m Brake Lube. Mine have never really squealed like that, even w/aftermarket rotors (Centric Premium).

The OEM Brembo pads come with the shims installed from the factory.

Now I am running with Project Mu B-force brake pads, and I am not sure if they comes with brake shims or not..I dont think they have. Is Brake lube along will help me on the squealed problem?

No. As the link describes, shims are designed to acoustically absorb the squealing sounds, though keep in mind that shims are generally tuned to specific pads. You will want to source a set of shims to install behind the Project Mu's, either from your old OEM set, or from somewhere else. You might be able to get the shims separately from an Infiniti or Nissan dealer (look for shim kit for 350Z Track version - 2003-2004 model years), but brake lube alone will not solve the problem.
