Okay, so my car is resting over night or while i am at school. As soon as i start driving, i hear this screeching noise when i'm rolling. I drive a little more and then it goes away. And then it happens again all over again the next day or something. So I dunno whats rubbing. Also, my brakes are super screechy. Like it sounds like when your brake pads are old and its just metal on metal. But i just changed both my front and rear brake pads so it can't be that. Anyone got any ideas?

de-squeel is good too, did you tighten the caliper bolt enough? another prob is if you didnt put any anti-squeel goop on your shims the shims can get loose and rub against your rotor.
