My understanding is that the factory pads have anti-squeal "liners" fixed to the metal backing. Other pads may not. On my old VW I used an "anti-peep" (strange German translation) spray made by Wurth.

What pads are you using?
Well, even that doesn't matter so much, because:
With OEM pads there is no need for this, as Blaine said, they have anti squeal plates & "spiders" and even without them, I haven't had any noise with OEM pads.
If you however are using track pads, once they get hot (at track) they get quiet.
When they're cold, they squeal like a pig but "that's the price of being famous" as they say.

Haven't used them and don't consider to. My opinion is any such lining will result in a softer/spongier pedal (what I noticed with the OE anti-squeal shims). Besides, if they're anything like the factory anti-squeal thingies, will make pad replacement a royal headache.
About all I use is the anti-squeal spray sold in auto parts stores. Stock pads are quiet with it. Track/competition pads squeal like a stuck pig even with this stuff (especially after a track stint), but that's the nature of the beast.
