Default Squeeky breaks

even after putting about 400 miles on new breaks and roters all around. Normal ? Its just when i come to a slow stop. She stops well but just the squeek is annoying.

Who installed the brakes? Was brake caliper grease added to the backs of the pads? Also along the side edges of the backs of the pads, as well as the caliper guide pins.

just coat them in grease and it'll be good(DO NOT coat the side that touches the rotor)

mine squeaked the day i put them on, but it never bothered me really, i do find that a good hard stop from 60-0 puts enough heat in them to stop the squeak, but as they cool down it comes back. next time i will have to try this lube, never seen it before.
