Break Squealing (HELP!!!)

Okay guys I know this probably has been covered numerous times but I cant find anything about it except for the ceramic break versions on the Z07 packages.

I have the steel rotors and man my breaks are squealing like crazy! Drives me freakin nuts! What are you guys doing (Other than buying new pads) to stop the break squeal?

Thanks for your help!

If you don't track the car and don't care about (potentially) a slightly reduced braking performance, install a set of Ceramic pads like those made by Carbotech;

Have Permatex Ceramic anti-squeal brake pad paste applied to the backing plates of the pads, this also works great.
