Default squeeky brakes

After changing the discs and pads on my 04 sti type uk (brembos), theyve started doing a high pitch squeel when the pedal is pressed. Its not there when its cold and gets worse the warmer the brakes get. Theres nothing between the discs and pads. what else can it be

wee touch of copperslip on the anti rattle shim?

or make sure the pads fit well, and the carrier isnt too worn.

sqeaks can be really annoying

I changed my RB's discs & pads, for the first time since new last year!
When stripped, the callipers & anti-squeal shims needed a lot of brake cleaner & elbow grease to clean all the carbon/dirt etc off. Once i'd done this, I applied a small amount of copper slip grease to the squeal plate & back of the pad & I have no squeal what so ever!!

I also cleaned & put a bit of copper grease on the calliper bolts, before refitting..as they can be a git to remove, ready for next time!!

Still an ongoing problem, and its really startin to **** me off. Fitted them last saturday. Squeel started after round two days. Its been back to the garage thursday. theyve had everything off and replastered with slip. squeel still there. been back to the garage today (good friend of mine) to take the anti squeel shims out completely, plastered in grease again. and its still ****ing squeeling. could it be the pads? i have drilled/grooved discs with mintex pads if thats any help.
