Default The mystery squeak

I've got a 1997 z28 and its got a squeak, i upgeaded the terrible stock brakes to the larger dual piston LS1 brakes and since then it has developed a squeak. The back of the pads are all nice and greased up as are the pistons, but during the install the wheel hub dropped about a 2 feet onto the ground could it have jarred the wheel bearing into squeaking?

the squeak occurs at speeds less than 30, more when turning left than right, when letting off the gas, and still squeaks with light to med braking but dosnt squeak when giving it gas. I am completly lost, help.(only other thought is u joints)

Did you actually use grease on the bak of the pads, or the antisqueak goo??
