if youre getting Squeal, its three things that can cause it. the old Slider type calipers are terrible for it!

Firstly, clean out the calipers and pads well, as dust can cause it.

Second, the pads are glazed causiing the squealing

third, you have ridged discs and the edge is vibrating under braking.

Putting an old set on may not actually fix the problem or give you any clues.

Check the discs, if they are ok, then buy some decent Ferrodo pads, or EBC red stuff, and clean off the claipers really good

Sounds to me like you need new discs too, they probably got hot and warped a bit, so change both and your problems will go away!! :D
