It's usually the hard metal compound of the pad that will cause squeal.
Switch to a softer pad, or just deal with the squeal and smile because you know you're stopping more efficiently because of it.

The holes are chamfered. I changed the pads, put grease on the back, and these freakin things still squeal. Havent tried changing rotors yet. I hate squeaky brakes so much.

I put a layer of electrical tape on the back of my pads and it stops squeal. Unless you track the car, the tape won't melt or anything. If you can think of a better material, go for it. I just had electrical tape on hand at the time (last year) and it's still there, intact.

No shim between the pads and the calliper. Electrical tape really works? Ill have to give that a try. What are you talking about Stephen? Thanks guys

Having the same noise problem with my x-drilled. Finished brake job about a week ago and getting a "rusty wagon wheel" sound every so often. Interestingly enough, not under hard braking, only when gliding to a stop.
Zimmerman X-drilled + Pagid blues.
Stopping has greatly improved though...
