Default Rear brake(left side) squeekes loud after brake job

OK so I replaced both rear brakes because my bro drove my car w/ the e-brake on. After the install I heard the brakes squeel, but assumed it would go away once they broke in. Now like 1,000 miles later the left side still does it. It doesnt do it all the time tho, which is wierd. It likes to do it when you are driving the car for hte first 5 minutes a lot and you come to any sort of stop, and after I get off driving around on the expressway for a while I get the squeel when brakeing harder then normal. Sometimes it seems to change at what exact point it does it so its wierd. Sometimes they are long too, like from beginning of me brakeing until im completely stopped. If I take the pads off that side is there anything I can do to them to help stop them from squeeking? or do I just have to buy new ones?

Help its very annoying.

Anti-squeak spray from NAPA, spray it on the back sides of the pads. Also while you have it apart, make sure there's enough grease on the caliper slide pins.
