Default brakes squeek ONLY when not used???

Ok, my brakes on my 4th gen 92' prelude squeek like a **** and when I apply the brakes it goes away. I've tried applying the anti-squeek grease to the back of the pads and the calipers and it didn't work at all. I have ceramic pads and installed new rotors at the same time the pads were installed. I broke them in properly and they didn't make the noise during the first few months. Its only the front pads that make the nosie and the rears are silent. Whats the deal??

did you glaze the pads/rotors? or is the wear bar bent so its squealing when it's not supposed to be?

Pull the pads out and clean the caliper with brake clean.

I've already tried that and it didn't do anything.

Also the pads are not glazed over and the wear indicators are NOT touching the rotors since they are nearly brand new pads.

strange i had the same problem. it wouldnt squeak unless i let go of the brake.. ended up being that the pads were dead .. which isnt the case for you. sometimes the squeaks will burn off... hopefully
