Were the pads oem? If so, did you install the brake pad shims that came with the pads? If not, did you reuse the old shims and put them on the new aftermarket brake pads? Also, did you resurface the brake rotors?

Did you put grease on the back of the pads?

Your supposed to put Disc Break Quiet on the pads at all contact points (all but rotor) before you put on pads.

I had the same problem. Resurfacing rotors fixed it.

anytime you get new pads you should ALWAYS resurface your rotors. ALWAYS
