Brake Squeal
Like everyone else said it's normal. I just put new pads on this weekend, followed the proper bedding process, and have some squeaking. My stock pads where the same way. Nothing to worry about. I had about 25k on the pads before I changed them and I do break aggressively a times, just as a point of reference.
I'm having this "problem" too! ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I took it to the dealer cuz i was getting a pulsation in the brake pedal and the loud *** squealing. They charged me the going rate for a front rotor and pad resurfacing. They stopped squealing for about 2 days and i took it back complaining that it was worse than before so they resurfaced the pads again and its better now but still annoying and the only thing the dealership will do for me is install new pads for free. Guess im dealin with the squeal or getting Hawks.
Please try a proper bed-in on your brakes. You get the pads hot, transfer pad material to the rotor, and then the pad rides on a layer of pad material rather than the iron of the rotor. I did an article & video on the procedure a while back. Check it out:

I've noticed with the warmer weather around here my brakes don't squeal as much. They still do squeal from time to time, but I ignore it now. I'll probably change out the pads soon anyway. It's my DD and I'm sure its close to changing them out. I'll be checking them this weekend.
