Big Brake Kit (Noise)?

About a month ago I upgraded to AEM's Big Brake Kit with 4pt. piston calipers, but latley when I step on the brakes they squeek. Are my pads already going bad?

dont think so? this one guy that owned a EVO VIII said that when his brakes started to squeek, they're warmed up. personally i just think it was his brake pads :P

Coulld be the rotors still breaking in (mind did it for a few months before they finally wore in), could be some chatter in the pad (did you use anti-squeal?) or it could just be the compound of the pad making noise. What are they?

The pads are the ones that came with the AEM kit.
