Brembo Brake Help

Ok guys i need your help.
my front brembos squeal whenever i let the car sit for a bit no matter what speed, BAD. Then goes away after a few stops, however it continues to squeal ss i come to a stop all the time.

i know there are several threads regarding this issue but I have tried everything Ive seen for solutions and nothing has worked.

my next step was to replace with higher quality pads and rotors but I was unsure of what to go with.

ive replaced the pads and rotors twice, i have powerstop on there right now, and have had the squeal since like august 2016.
any suggestions on new brake setups or solutions?
thanks in advance

If you are running Powerstop pads then that is normal..

They are a Ceramic pad so they will squeal when they are cold. After a couple stops they are warm enough and stop squealing.

The Powerstop pads are really good. I mean you have basically new pads so I wouldn't just throw them away.

But, if you decide to do that. OEM Brembo pads are the best pads for this car. But they do dust a lot so that is why many people switch to a ceramic pad like the powerstop.

Nothing beats the stock Brembo/Ferrodo pads on an LNF.
Don't believe anyone who says brand XYZ are an upgrade. They are not.
I'd replace with stock pads. They come with aluminum plates that reduce the squealing.
Also make sure you grease the backs of the pads generously.

I'm dealing with a similar problem. Normal parts store pads and they squeal like crazy. Is it possible to get the pad shims separately somewhere. I can't find them. I've taken everything apart, cleaned and grease it and they still squeal.
