I dont know about all the time, but my stockers squeek from time to time. But its only when I'm traveling 5 mph or less and lightly pushing on the brakes.

Are your brakes/pads stock or different? If their stock then its normal. Also you can try bedding them in by driving and braking 10 times on the higway, but dont make a complete stop untill the brakes have cooled down a bit. This would put brake dust deposits on the rotors which are supposed to help. At least thats what I've read here in the forums.
