    noisy brakes while not braking

    This can't be good...I know that when brake pads are worn they will make a squeling noise while not even braking due to the metal piece on the pad that makes the chirp noise. However, I just replaced my pads no longer then 4 months ago and I'm getting the chirps already. Could this be cause by something else that I have failed to recognize? Seriously this noise is getting embarising.. My car looks good its clean and its brakes squel like hell even when I'm not braking. This can't be a good thing.
    Any suggestions would help.. Oh yeah I've already tried brake cleaner, I've pulled the routers off cleaned them, installed new pads. This noise is just getting worse everyday.

    yeah when I'm driving. It's really bad when I first start out after I've drivin for 10 minutes or so it starts to go away...Seems like its fine in reverse but as soon as I put it in drive and get going it starts. It usually goes away after I brake really hard...have to get going like 60 the slam on the brakes, that typically fixes it for a few minutes but seems like as soon as I hit a decent bump in the road that temporary fixes is gone.

    sounds like the classic warpage issue, Do you have factory rotors?
    If so, do yourself a favor and get a set of brembos

    yeah just factory...I ordered the brembos on Friday kinda as a last result and I have my fingers crossed that this will solve that.
