Front brake screeching....

I have some screeching front brakes.... needed to re-place the front pads, so I went with semi-metallic ones. At that time I had the rotors turned. Very screechy after everything was cleaned and re-placed.

Removed everything and re-cleaned the rotors, used anti-squeal on metal parts. Still a bad squeal.

Re-did again, but went with organic brake pads. No screeching at first, but as days went on, the screeching returned.

I am wondering if I should change out the rotors since these are the original ones. If so, I will order them from Moss Motors.

Now, what about the brake pads? Organic or semi-metallic? I don't mind the softness and wearability of the organics. Just don't want/like the sequelling.

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
 
Do you have the anti=squeal shims in place?

BEVEL THE LEADING EDGE OF THE PADS. That will stop the finger nails on a black board screech.
