Did you resurface the rotors when you swapped pads? You cannot put a new pad on an old shiny rotor, or you're almost guaranteed they'll squeal, regardless of brand, price or composition.

Well, connsidering the wear and tear on your rotors and the fact that you have had a problem like this I would go get them turned. Just tell them to scuff them up enough to get the glazing off of them if your rotors are in great shape.
If your rotors are grooved and have rust rings around them, well you need them to fully clean them up. Have them make sure they meet specs as in thickness. Too thin, and they will warp.
Don't get too frustrated with it all. Your brakes are letting you know they arent right. Screaming at you, NO NO NO we can't stop you fast enough!!!
lol Its worth the effort in the end. Take care. GotoGod
