[2SS Capt]

The squeal theoretically originates with the pad and some other surface, usually the rotor.
I would order new front and rear pads from amazon. Swap out the front ones first and see if the noise goes away. if not, then swap the rears. At the very least you will get to see what the face of your old pads looks like and maybe find the noise source.
There is always the possibility that the pads themselves are squealing due to a weak rivet or adhesive. You will never see that.

I swapped my stock pads for z26's and I'm not sure I used any assembly lube when I reinstalled. Never had a squeal.

And, please, no one flame me for saying I'm telling the Capt to "rip off" amazon. I'm saying to (maybe) return the unused rear pads if he doesn't need them. That's part of why prime offers free returns. it is a service you are paying for!

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

Interesting that you didn't use any brake lube. Are the Brembo's different and don't need lube (I was under the impression that pretty much all brake pad should be lubed where they move. I may not have bedded mine enough, it really hard to find somewhere out here where you can do that many stops in relatively quick succession and not having to sit a light or get interrupted by other traffic...
