as the title states, i just got four new brake pads installed on my RSX but when i hit the brakes the car squeaks. It only happens when it wants to and this has been going on for about a week. Any reason why?

I think that they are not making complete contact with the rotor at times, and since they're only a week old you should keep driving it to break them in. If it continues then idk what's wrong

They are not yet broken in. After about a thousand miles, they should become quieter.

this happens alot and the reason is, there are dozens of makes of brake pads, some good but alot are cheap and bad, the brake shops dont always tell you this but they can offer better pads, for just a little price, and most times its worth it. or some times with pads best to go factory pads, i would take it straght back tell them you want them fixed correctly.
