Is there any advise on squeaking breaks iv copper greased them check pad wear it's at. 50% shall I buy new pads or could it b disks / callipers. The noise comes from front at low speeds and carrys on util car stops reali loud squeak they are brembo pads ??
 
It can also be the disks, in time they get some king of glazing on the surface, the glazing is basically where the squeegeeing appears.
Yesterday, i've had mine machined, and at least for now thy did not squeak any more.. will see in a few thousand km.

You can just replace them as the are a consumable, but get good quality ones.
 
My guess is it's the Brembos and that, with those pads, some squealing is something you'll have to put up with. If you change pads. I'd recommend OEM FIAT. I've had the same experience as you with non-OEM pads and a change to FIAT pads solved all the noise issues. Plus they are supplied with new spring clips and caliper bolts.
 
I've got greenstuff pads and EBC Turbogroove discs - never had any problems :)
