I hate my brakes...
OK so I have done EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING I could do to stop my brakes from squeeking. My only option now is replacing my brembos for maybe newer ones. My question is, would this even help or am I just SOL.

I was running hawks and i thought that was the reason for the noise then i replaced them with the "gold" pads from advanced and they still squeeked. THENNNN i replaced my rotors and guess what...still squeeking...im ready to drive off a cliff
1. Take your wheels off and...
2 - Verify your backings are intact.
3 - Verify the correct pad sizes.
4 - Verify the pistons actuate flat/evenly.
5. Verify your rotors and pads are installed rotating in the correct direction.

Squeal isn't nearly as complicated as it is annoying. Either you have a compound issue, an engagement angle issue or most likely a chatter issue. Most squealing is really just harmonic vibration.
Try to determine which wheel as well and remember as frustrating as it may seem, there isn't all that much to your brakes.

If it's not contacting squarely or with the leading edge it'll vibrate.
I have seen this a lot with X's using the wrong pad size, not so much VIIIs.
Be sure you have the backing plate on correctly. You can put some high temp grease or disk quiet on it.
Verify the piston is actuating correctly (seal may be busted and caused friction).
