Need help greddy bbk kit squeaking...

Installed brand new greddy bbk fronts about 1000 miles ago besides then putting out a lot of brake dust they squeak every time I brake. Is this normal? Any ideas or what I need to do to make it stop. Please help me out guys thanks

What kind of pads did the kit come with? Sounds like a race compound

bbk will not make the brakes squeek. the type of brake pads will. if the pads are dusting and squeeking a lot you probably have a race compound type pad. changing pads will stop the squeeking.

Also a dab of brake lube used between piston and back of pad/shim reduces harmonics.
It's a religion with some manufacturers to keeps brakes from squealing. But it's just as likely pad compound. Particularly with heavy dusting.
