You probably ruined the pads. It takes about 30 long slow stops to break them in. In other words just drive easy for a few weeks. If you drive hard the glue in the new pads will turn to gas and contaminate the pads. Get some new pads that are of good quality. You don't need Toyota pads, just get some decent aftermarket ones. NAPA for example, usually offers three levels of pads and if you get the cheapest they will squeak like crazy. If you get the second level they are usually good pads.
