I had the same problem with my 280ZX recently.  A local mechanic
referred to it as "chattering brake pads".  The remedy for this
syndrome was the one used by Mercedez Benz; the end of the pads
are beveled at a 45 degree angle (degree of angle can be disputed).

Example:

       old -   __________        new -     ________
              |          |                /        \
              |          |                |        |

This did eliminate my squeling brakes; now I sneak by the state
troopers with NO problems.  I hope this will help you.
