What kind of grease you using?

I do not remember honestly. But i have used a brake grease before on the pins and pads (back side of course) and the metal tabs/ guides that hold the pads to the caliper. Just a little and it stopped squeaking. This was quite some time ago and different vehicle, but same concept. I did this b/c my car at the time would not stop squeaking and and drove me nuts. So figured what is there to loose, except noise.

Maybe some one can chime in w/ what to use exactly.

Those that have noises did you grease the guides?

Yep. Caliper pins and back side of the pads got greased thoroughly. I need to pull everything apart and take a look. We had a cold snap and some snow yesterday and they sounded even worse than usual.

You can use any pad you want to with the Eline rotors. Greasing the guide pins and making sure to also use the new hardware that comes with the Posi pads helps as well. I can honestly say that I have had the Elines and Posi ceramics on the wife's 04 Denali for a little over two years now and haven't had any noise or loss of braking. That is with my wife being the type to only hit the brakes 10 feet from any stop regardless of speed. Sorry about misunderstanding the cold reference, I think of colder temps when that is mentioned.

Going to do new pins with better grease this weekend and see if it changes.
