Brakes
My new brake setup (caliphers, brake pads, and front rotors) are squeeling like crazy sometime when I slow down or use them, especially at low speed to stopping. The ABS light is on also, Im sure this ties together. Anyways, I just put these on and it sounds like straight metal on metal grinding sometimes, and everything is still there....any ideas?

Are the pistons on the calipers sticking and not giving even pressure?

Sorry if this sounds obvious but did you install the pads with the friction material facing the disc. It's a simple mistake to make.

yea, the brakes are on properly, but the piston issue sounds more realistic. Sometimes after I brake coming up to a stop it feels like the brakes are still slightly "pinching" the rotor and it takes a little motion forward until the brakes feel like they full disengage. Is the piston pressure adjustable or is did I not install it properly? They just make sooooo much noise something cannot be right.
