Exclamation Help! Problem with brakes

whats going on everyone..i JUST recently bought my tl-s back in june, and im having EVERY problem possible. one of the issues that i cannot seem to figure out is the brakes. when i bought the car i noticed the brakes made SO much noise it was embarrassing, i took it back and they replaced the pads. they continued to make noise, i noticed they put some cheap unknown name pads on so i went out and purchased OEM ones had them put on. THEY ARE STILL MAKING SO MUCH NOISE!!! i dont get it. i asked the guy who i had install the pads what else it could be, he said maybe the rotors need to be resurfaced, but idk if you should do that having brembos on the front. i DONT want to go buying new rotors and then it doesnt fix the issue. any idea what else could be causing it? the guy did mention he thinks a custom brake system was put on but i told him im pretty sure the front brembos are custom with the TYPE S.

Mizzlady! Hope you're having a great day because its a pretty simple fix!

if you head back to the shop/mechanic have him lube every pin, every slider, Just everything.

if you are sure that all pads have been replaced with new ones, then the noise is related to metal on metal contact and needs to be lubed.

have an awesome rest of the day!
