squeaky brakes

i had recently changed my front brake pads and rotors, now the are squeaking very loud and high pitched at low speed. i checked the rear pads and they seem to be ok. anybody have any reasons this could be happening or products to stop the squeak as it is very annoying and confusing since they are brand new.

what brand parts did you use
did you bed the pads in ? thats wearing the pads and rotors into each other so all the micro hills and valleys meet for full contact, then doing a hot transfer of pad material to rotor,,makes them work better, last longer and stay quiet

noise can often be from using the brakes too gently and causing a glaze to form

did you clean and relube all the slider parts and pins? torque is correct on every bolt?

do NOT use products that spray on to hide noise! find out whats up

did you transfer the backing plate/spacers on the pads, or the new ones came with them installed?
