Default stange noise from back of cossie

I have this trange squeaking noise on the back of my 2wd Saff.
It seems to be with each revolution of the wheel and on both sides.
I have had new wheels recently.
new calipers all round,
new front discs
new rear suspension

I have tried changing the wheel nuts, swaping wheels over.
The calipers dont seem siezed, and according to SCC my rear discs are worn but not finished.

The noise seems to dissapear under heavy braking but not generating much brake dust.

It is driving me mad please, please someone HELP me.

Many thanks

Scot

Ps drove my car in the wet yesterday and after 8 months of ownership it still shites me up Anyone else still find this?

Try putting copper grease on the back of the pads.

Mine still (occasionally) shits me up after 9 years mate.

sorry to be a dunce, when you say back of pads, you mean on the surface of the pads that touch the disc or the outside surface that touches the caliper etc?

Also do cossie brakes need shims? I have heard that cars that use them sqeak when they are forgotten?
