Default Can't get rid of the squeaking

I just changed the back rotors to the IRotors cross drilled and slotted set up. I used O'Reilly brake pads. I cleaned everything, and greased the pins in the bracket and the pins that the pads sit on. I still get that damn squeaking while stopping. It does it as I start to brake (normaly) and quites when I push the peddle down harder. I am at my whits end here.
Any suggestions?

Are they anti-squeal pads? with the teflon covered thing on the back of the pad where they contact the piston and the caliper? If not did you put that anti-squeal stuff on the pad, it is in a tub and dries rubbery like silicone or something. The squealing usually comes from the piston to brake pad, but can come from the pad to rotor.

I bought the pads from O'Reilly ahey gave me organic pads orginally. They should have given me ceramic. Got it straightened out yesterday. I ended up with Wagner brakes now. They are supposed to have some sort of Thermal Anti squeal on them. I put them on last night and have not had any squeal.
