What kind of pads did you get. I have a set of Hawk pads, and they seem to be pretty good.

Isn't there an anti squeal compound you're supposed to use on one side of the brakes before you put them in to prevent them from sqealing? Did you use that? [&:]

it depends on brand and how long uv had them on some dont squeek at all some squeek for like the first coupl days and yes their is anti squeek compounds but it can only be use on certain brands iv heard it can brak down some pads because of a reaction between the gel and the pad material

i would take everything back apart and grease everything metal to metal except the pad to the rotor of course...i bet that will stop ur problems...ur rotors may need to be turned also

That only works of the squeak/squeal is caused by a vibration between the pad and caliper. If it's between teh pad and rotor, turning is one solution, or the pad material may be incompatible with his rotors.
