Do your brakes squeek when the brake pedal is depressed?

Some of the time, all the time, until they are warmed up?

I have the r4S street and track pads and the ones on the right side squeek...any thoughts??

I thought about that...would that make the difference? Where do I get this lube. I was reading in Helm to make sure and lube and didn't have any so I just put them on.....

Check any auto parts store. I use Napa anti seize lubricant, it's good up to 1600 deg f. The lack of lubricant is almost certainly the reason your pads are squealing, my R4S's are very quiet.

Get the good lubricant that was mentioned. I bought a pack of the $4 disc brake lubricant and it burns off quickly, leaving nice squeeling wherever I go.
