squealing brakes
Ok, I got new rotors and pads for christmas and put them on, well, I've started to break them in and they have started squealing. I have normal brake rotors, new bearings, and titanium brake pads, is there anyway to eliminate this squealing? I got to talking to one of my roommates and he said he ran titanium pads once and they did the same thing for a while. Is there any way to fix this or just wait it out? I mean, it stops better than it ever has, and I love the feel of the pedal, just the squeal annoys me a little

That is very strange, but I'm not familiar with those brake pads. (I always buy the soft ones)
I'd recheck the installation and apply some more 'break quieter' or silicone. You don't need much of that, but wait until it gets somewhat dry, since if you put the pads back to quickly it may get squeezed out.
