Brake Squeal
I have just replaced my brake pads and had the rotors turned. I used a little lower quality brake pads because of the price. In other cars I have had I never had a brake squeal when using lower quality pads. Any ideas except for replacing the pads again?

It's the compound that makes them squeal
You have a harder compound, and that what makes them squeal. The stock compound is very soft....I had the same problem as you (and have countless others on this forum)....my solution is to run OEM pads on the street, and race pads on the track.
