Default brake squeeking

i just bought my 99z28 a4 not too long ago and part of the agreement was that the brakes had to be brand new. i have front and back wagner therma quite pads and freshly turned rotors. but for some reason i am getting a squeek from the driver side front pad when i brake lightly, i have tried slamming on the brakes to seed them in but it doesnt work what should i do?

Put some of the orange brake quiet (can't recall the name of the brand) on the pad backs. It stops the squeak you get on initial depressing of the brake.

Some brake squeal results from the little saddle-shaped clips vibrating. Put some orange or blue anti-squeal on the clips where they meet-up with the caliper.
