Define "quality". They aren't OEM are they?

*All* disc brakes squeal *all* the time. The trick is to make them squeal
above the range of normal hearing. Use aftermarket pads and you run the
risk of upsetting the factory's delicate balance.

You will need to attempt some fudge-fixes and try to alter the pads'
vibration frequency. A dab of silicone applied to the back of the pads may
help.

Are the factory anti-squeal shims still there or did you remove them
because the aftermarket pads were too thick?
