Question NEW squeeky Brakes...How to fix?

I just replaced my front rotors with cross drilled / slotted rotors and put on new semimetallic pads. Now when I push on the brake about a quarter of the way I get a squeek but it goes away as I press harder on the pedal. I think it is setting up a resonance vibration at that particular braking pressure. Is there a good way to get rid of this?

put an adequate amount of anti squeel stuff on the back of the pads, make sure you have the antisqueel clip positioned right, make sure you tightened bolts properly, try a good pad.

Lube the back sides of all 8 pads, and make sure the bolts are torqued to the proper specs. If it still squeaks, try a quality pad like EBC Greenstuf.
