Default Did you grease the guide pins, clean the carriers and grease them lightly?...

is your caliper piston retracting properly, is your hand brake frozen? There are a lot of little things that could cause them to squeal, even the choice of pad material. Just look to see if the the pads have material on them, that they are wearing evenly and check that the hand brake releases.

Default Mine look a lot better... I still need to take them off to check if I have material on them.

I still can't grasp why the rears would go before the fronts... If they did the dealership must have fvcked something up.

Yes ,when your rear pads wear down to the plate you'll know it by the noise.

Should it not happen after the front pads though? They have been replaced at the same time.
