I've also applied a thin layer of grease between the pads & shims to help them stick together. I was told by a mechanic to do this when installing new pads. Is that how you apply the "anti-squeal brake paste" too?
I'll be installing my front and rear stoptech bbk and I've heard that with Stoptech pads, it squeals a little before warming them up. After a few kms of use and warm pads the squeals should go away.

Yes, I would recommend applying brake squeal paste everytime you change your brake pads as well.
