I used to work for peugeot Im a qualified peugeot tech i have thought about it alot. never have i heard a 406 sqeul like a 306 on brembo's.
Mine has both anti rattle shims (your ebay link) and stainless shims between the pad and the piston and it still squels. My 6 was in constant use up untill a month ago. i do very heavy mileage and as i own my own garage my car is looked after mechanically to a very high standard.
Brake squel is caused by viabrations. The pads rubbing on the disc make them vibrate against the pistons in the caliper. the vibration is etheir caused by imperfections in the disc or warping of the disc or high metalic content within the pad.
I personaly think that as the disc isnt sat in the oem postion (in the middle of the caliper) that the pads/ pistons vibrate at low speed due to one side of the caliper pistons having to move more then the other. Ive also found in the time ive had them on that on both sides that the inner pad wears faster then the outer.
