Got drilled and slotted rotors from brakemotive company in Chicago off ebay. Great Customer service answered every question I had. The first set of 4 I got had warped front rotors. so they sent me new ones for free. now I swapped them out and the fully ceramic brakes squeak like a mofo at low speeds...like barely moving. but at higher speeds 25plus no squeal. and every so often squeals at 10 mph when im turning and not braking but when im braking around the speed holy crap is it loud. any suggestions? go to pepboys and have them check it out, cus my friends shop is too far away from me. the only thing I can think of is somehow the anti squeal I used doesnt work or my brakes arent set right. But I see no problem there.

I just dont have the time or tools to fully inspect my cars. sad suburbs syndrome is what I call it.

If it also squeals when you're not braking, it's not your brakes.

Did you use brake grease on the pins and locators where the caliper slides? Perhaps the caliper isn't moving free enough.

In that case, the only way it can be the brakes is if they're not letting up when they should. You might broaden your search. Perhaps something else is squealing, but only at a certain speed- when you're slowing down.
