They most likely didnt spray the brakes with the anti squel spray your supposed to use after the brake install.

I would take it into the place you had them done and let them know. The sooner the better.

Mine do the same. I took it back in and they said nothings wrong and give it time. But it's been some time now and it still squeeks. -_-

I know the feeling...You fork over around $500, hop in your Z and cant wait to !!not hear!! the sound of brakes squeaking...The first 2 or 3 stops your thankful you got them replaced...next day on the drive to work....errrr...stop....errrr. stop...the bastards start squeaking again..wondering why you just spent the money with new ones...

Nissan changed my effin' rotors and pads back about 4-5 months ago....f*ckers still squeak....and yesterday I ran my fingernail across the rotor....Mf*ckers are gettin dug into big time.....only after 13k miles...I would take them back in...I hope you didnt replace them with new stocks....they blow....in my experience.

Just got my hawk hks pads in the mail...gettin them put on this week...god I hope they make a difference.

A) they probably need some grease to stop the squeaking
B) bed in procedure: the summary is you want to get them really hot, then cool down 3 times or so.
What I do to bed in new brake pads/rotors:
accelerate to 60 and brake fairly hard to drop down to 10mph or so. REPEAT like 8 times then drive around at 60mph for a few minutes without braking (if possible) to let them cool.

Repeat the entire procedure above two more times
