    Go to auto store, buy a can of Brake Squeak-Stop. It's blue silicone that you spray on the back side of the pads. Also, did your pads come with shims? My ceramic pads for the front didn't, but the rear ceramic pads did. Shims will usually stop any/all squeaks. The blue silicone spray WITH the shims will just add to the anti-squeak insurance :D

      bleed your brakes. make sure they're not too tight
      they ought to be fine since they're new
      you havent used up too much brake pad (theres a metal piece sticking out that you compare the pad to).
      maybe check rotor size/warpage

        Some pads give off dust that squeaks all of the time. Did you buy cheap, low end pads? If so, that is your problem.
