brakes

Ok, so i just replaced my brakes. I just want to make sure its normal to hear some squeeling at first right? also how long do i break them in? i've been doing some 60-30 hard breaks. i hope thats right.

They shouldn't make any noise at all from my experience. Is it a brake squeal or a rubbing squeal?

I'd go back and re-check the install and make sure all components are installed right. May be a PIA but at least you'll have peace of mind.

There should be no squeals after a brake job. If there is, it will only get worse. I would go back and reassemble the brakes making sure to clean all hardware and regrease it. Then put some anti-squeal on the backs of the pads.
