Default brakes squelling after brake change

I have stoptech brakes up front and stocks on back. I just bought hawk pads for the fronts and the most expensive ones that auto zone had for the rears. Still my brakes are squelling when coming to a stop. The pads i took off did not really look bad either. what could be causing this?

Monoblock brakes like your Stoptechs have a tendency to squeal. Listen in the paddock at a SCCA, NASA or Grand Am race and you'll notice this tendency. Get over it and consider the squealing as a badge of honor.
