It won't stop, make it go away! I've tried new pads, two different brands, new discs, help

Various companies make sticky spray stuff that you spray on the back side of the pad, between the pad and pistons. That should do it.

Back when I was a BMW tech, one trick we did was to put a chamfer on the top edge of the pads. Not sure how well it worked but it was a TSB fix at one point.

Also make sure you really put some heat in to set the pads. It's pretty hard on performance brakes to putt around and glide to a stop all of the time.
