Default iRotor pads squealing

I finally made some time to get my set of iRotors on the car (front and rear) and I installed the pads they sell. Well man alive, these things don't just squeak, they squeal like crazy. I have never heard brakes make that loud a noise before.

Anyone have any suggestions? I don't really want to swap pads, but I will if thats the only option. If so - whats the best option - Hawk pads?

Thanks

I have Raybestos pads on my car... ceramic front, metallic rear. I also have iRotors.
Quiet, not much dust, and stops great!

I just got rotors also from Irotors. Mine squeals also. But only when im about to come to a complete stop. ive put about 400miles on them. My pads are EBC Greenstuff(kevlar) and they work great. I'm just hoping that the squealing stops after they are broken in well. On the good side the rotors look great!!
