Mechanic was very apologetic, and very graciously offered to change them out again. He spoke to his supplier and suggested we try another brand this time. Went with Brembo pads & rotors and they've been quiet and compliant from day one.
Were they semi-mettalic pads? Those tend to squeek. But perform better.
