Default brake question

I would like to know if you people use brake grease or anti-seizing grease on the back of the brake pads when installing them. I would also like to know if you put something in between the pads and rotors. Getting ready to change the pads and rotors.

I put stuff made for the purpose on the back of the pads. Nothing goes between pad surface and rotors. Keep that area grease free, wipe off greasy hand prints from rotors, etc.

I'm not an expert here but Ive heard that you should use some type of anti-squeel brake lubricant on the back side of your brake pads (metal side). Failing to do so may trigger the 3 amigos. Stuff comes in a small plastic bottle and is pretty cheap so I see no reason why not to invest in it, better to be safe then sorry. And its always good to have silent brakes! Cant stand when brakes squeel.
