Did you grease the rails before installing the pads? You may need to get a brake hardware set and replace the rails. Does it only happen while the brake is being depressed and not when the pedal is held down and not moving?

sounds like they need to be taken aparts and "de-squeaked". you should use to pad silencer and make sure you lube the rails where the pads sit in the caliper. brake dust build up can also cause sounds while braking. what they new pads and rotors or what?

the pads are about 2 months old, and the rotors were turned when i put the pads on.. i will try to take it apart and grease the guides and see if it helps..
