i got some new drilled/slotted rotors and some ceramic brake pads and it still makes squeeking/friction noises like the old assem. ive had them on for a couple weeks and thought they mighta jus needed breaking in but still doing it. will spraying the brakes with high press. water get out any grit or whatever makes the noise? anything helps thanks.

Did you put any kind of lubricant on the back of the brake pads and where they sit in the hardware? Also you have to clean and lube the sliders as well.

I highly recommend using Honda Moly 60 lube for the pads and NAPA SilGlide on the slide pins.

Did you clean the cosmoline off the new rotors? Did you orient them properly? Is your rotor hitting the dust shield?

no lube used in the process

Here is the page from Honda on applying the lube to the pads. They no longer have the Molykote M77 grease but if you go to your local dealer they will have exactly what grease you need (The new kind of moly paste from Honda).
