High pitch squeel when braking?

I recently changed my rotors and brake pads and now i notice my brakes makes a high pitch squeel now when i apply the brakes. I did not purchase any new shimmies so can anybody tell me what the problem is? or is that the problem.

Was grease applied behind the shims and the sliders?

My experience if they are OEM they just squeal. I cleaned the brakes, applied brake grease, same result. It wasnt until I went aftermarket that the squealing went away.

It wouldn't matter which your rotors were installed unless they have directional vanes...and I highly doubt they do. And even if they do, it wouldn't cause the squeeling.

Check to make sure you have the pads installed correctly (inner/outer). Also, did you "bed" your pads properly?
