Make the brake squeel go away! 850 1995

I recently put drilled rotors and new zimmerman pads on my 95 855 glt na, and now have a squeel that alerts my dogs from a mile away. I think it comes from not using enough of the lube stuff when I installed the new pads, and I re-used the shims from the rear pads. I ordered new shims from FCP, but do I put lube between the shim and pad? The shim and the caliper? Should I just lube everything except the brake pad surface? The stopping has really improved but the squeal has to go. TIA, Chuck.

    Put it on the piston, back of shim, front of shim, and on the back of the pad. I use the entire tube when I do my front and rear brakes.

    The root of your problem might be with the Zimmerman(?) pads that you're using. Can you determine if its your front or rear brakes?
