Hi,

Copper grease is usually best applied to the back of the pads where the piston/caliper touches the pad.

while the wheels are off aswell as copper greasing the back of the pads, spray brake cleaner liberally over the discs... wipe off with clean cloth. I did it the other day with Gazer on my car cause i had the same problem... Just be carefull after though, Cause it will make your brakes a bit soft initially. Do a short journey and pop the brakes on lightly a few times and all will be well and good. Should stop the squeak, other than that its the quality of the brakes.
