Ok so my brakes are pretty new, used for about 2 months and recently the past 2 weeks they are been getting worse and worse on the sqeaking. Now they are making noise everytime Im driving and when Im breaking. I took it to the dealer yesterday and asked if there was anything they could do, I guess they looked at it and told me they were fixed, NOPE, noise is still just as bad. Is there anything i can buy at the auto parts store or something that i can put on that will stop this extremely annoying sound?

I solved a really bad case by "beveling" the forward edge of the front pads with a metal file; I lifted the caliper off the disk and filed the edge of the pad into a gentle curve, taking off no more than a quarter inch at the "most" point where the pad contacts the disk. You can also buy special plasticky goop to put between the pad and caliper to dampen the chattering of the pad against the disk that creates squeal.

If it squeaks at really low speeds (like applying the brakes at 2-3 mph), then it is less likely chatter and more likely something in the pad. Are these OEM ceramic pads or aftermarket replacements (did you use semi-metallic)?
Sometimes these things just resolve themselves in time as the pads wear. The squeal is indicative of something really hard and in time you may notice a groove in the rotor.

I have EBC green stuff. I dont think its a matter of wear. Also the sqeaking is all time, at almost all speeds AND when braking. ugh, stupid brakes

That's why I didn't get EBC's myself; I read too many posts where people complained of terrible noise. It's the pad composition.

grease?

I have the EBCs and Powerslot rotors. I used the EBC antisqueal pads (call up EBC and they mail them to you). Even with the antisqueal I had a squeak but only at light pedal pressure and at very slow speeds. It took about 10k miles for the noise to finally go away. It is definitely the pad's composition that is the cause, and in time it should go away. Exactly how long I guess depends on how much you drive. I put 25k+ a year on my car, so it only took 4 months to go away. Some people would have to drive a year for that amount of mileage to rack up and the noise to go away which would really be a bummer....
