Default Noisy K sports but not when braking!

Anyone else had this? I would expect them to be a bit noisy under braking (I have the 8 pot 356mmm kit with Pagid Rs29's) but mine squeal when warm. I only notice it in traffic when crawling along. A really annoying squeal which stops the moment you touch the brake!

sounds like debris/dirt in the caliper or your discs have a pronounced lip catching the pads??

Thanks for the replies. Yeah there must be something catching. The discs have done less than 4000 miles so no lip. So they are either warped or dirt/debris. Thanks again.

Update:
It was the pads seized in the caliper. A strip, clean and refit and all is quiet! ��

I've had a nightmare trying to get red stuff pads fitted into my K sports. They're really tight when inside the caliper, then when I try to fit the caliper back over the disc, the pads won't fit over the disc. Pistons are as far back as they will go. Am I missing somthing, or are they just a pain in the **** to fit?

pads too thick id say,some need machining, from memory so dont quote me on this need to be 17mm and some come as 19mm hence too thick

The pad shape comes in quite a few thicknesses actually , but as above you need the 17mm thick pads
