Check that the pads are fitted correctly.
Also sometimes worth filing a taper on the leading edge.

SMALL smear of copper slip grease on the REAR of the pad 

Only SMALL and on the REAR ...... it has been known for some to apply large dollops of the stuff on the face of the pad, with obvious consequences    :wacko:

Also don't some of the pads have a shim on them, I think that's what they are called. Without it you can get chatter each time you brake.
