Default Yea, change the pads
I'll bet you that you didn't use OEM pads, what type did you use?

There have been only a few people who have brakes that don't squeal without OEM pads, but I don't know what compound that is.

I always use OEM pads for street use, don't need to use anti squeal, and they never squeal, and always stop hot or cold.

Default I've had good luck with PBR Ceramics...
No squeal and brake way better. Also, cheaper and you don't have to worry about the sensors.
