Squeaking Brakes

Hi,
I am hoping you can help. I've just finished refurbishing the front brakes on my S2 OTS and have an annoying brake squeal that happens when the brakes warm up.
I've changed disks, pads, calipers and anti rattle clips. There is copper grease between pads and Pistons too.
Really not sure what else to do. Hoping someone here has some experience that can help. Anti squeal shims maybe?

Thanks,
Mark

What pads are you using?

Hi,
I'm using mintex ones. It was what SNG Barratt supplied.
Cheers,
Mark

Use the brakes frequently and hard to bed the pads in and note any improvement. If none, file a slight chamfer on the leading edge. Retest.

Or try Greenstuff pads.

Ok guys, thanks for the prompt responses. Will try to bed them in with some hard use first and see how I get on....
