Default What do you do next?

When you replace the brake pads rotors and add that sticky stuff to pad backs and the brakes still squeal. All four off them. I ahve gone through Ceramic pads on stock rotors, AZ pads on stock rotors, AZ pads on AZ rotors, and Ceramic pads on shaved AZ rotors. The noise are allways there and always the same my car sounds like a school bus. Sometimes its silent, otehr times it just wont STFU. Its the biggest holding point in my plans to sell it, I know I wouldnt want a car that does that. Any tricks, tips, suggestions as too why they wont be quiet? I mean I see tons of fbodies and they dont do this why does mine?

I doubt I'm going to get this one right, but since you've gone through a couple of different rotor and pad options... one, have you properly bedded in the pads? and two, and a long shot at that, have you checked to make sure the caliper slider pins are free to move and properly greased?
