| Brake Screeching
I have some disk brakes on my car, but I don't know why they screech when I brake... Maintenance was done not long ago...
Can anyone point to some tips?
Thanks!

its possible a piece of rock is stuck between the pad and rotors causing the noise.

Cheap or worn pads its also possible that the pads weren't properly dressed/seated before installation.
I got my favorite can on Wurth stop squeal that I use on cheapo pads when customers wont opt for the good ones. Keeps the cheapos from coming back to bitch after a couple of weeks thinking its my fault they are cheap.

what maintenence was done?
changing an upper control arm won't help your brakes from being quiet.
if you mean you had your brakes serviced recently, what was done? just pads? pads and rotors? front and back?
we need to know waaaaay more than what you've given us.
some things to consider...
if you just changed pads and didn't replace or machine the rotors, they will most likely make noise.
If you just replaced the front brakes, the rears can still make noise if they are low.
If you didn't install them right, they can make noise.
I assume you did them yourself, as if you had a shop do them, you're retarded for posting here, just go back to the fucking shop.
also, my computer is running slow, can you point me to some tips? Quote:

Honda retard, BRAKE PADS. and hawk BRAKE pads can make noise at any time not just after 50%

ok..... 
im speaking personal experience regarding Hawk ones, ran two sets before and they did not make any sort of noise for the first couple thousand kms. It occours when they are down to 50-60% than they start screeching really bad.

and he's making fun of u if u didnt catch it....

Another possibility (if the recent maintenance is indeed brake service) is the OP didn't bed in the pads properly and now running on glazed pads.

Brake squeal is the most common "issue, complaint" of any driver/customer. It can be dust build up on the anchors or wherever the caliper makes a contact. The material of the pads can also be part of the noise. It doesn't matter what brand of brake pads they are as well. Rotor scores/grooves and dust build up on them can also make your brake squeal.
You can try and "solve" the noise by adding "copaslip" to the backside of the pads and parts of the anchor that the caliper rides on. Or "Disc Brake Quiet" to the back of the pads and "antiseaze" to the anchors. Also, check if your car has spring clips or not. If you're missing the "clips", they may be the culprit. Oh and one more thing. Always remember to lubricate your caliper pins.
(I just realized I made a mouthful of tips that you made not understand.  )

If they're still working stop complaining.

I highly doubt that this is your problem, but when I forgot to let go of my handbrakes once or twice, the brakes would screech. But this would be an obvious problem, which you should've noticed right away, so most likely isn't your problem.
Maybe the handbrake isn't all the way down?
Just a thought...

You brake warning light would be on if you didn't let it go all the way down.
