It might sound stupid but check them to see if the Indicator tab is reset right. I messed that up on My F-body and then on my P5. I don't think warped rotors make that sound with new brakes(guessing you dont have warped rotors)<CONSIDERING rotors warped have dont hopefully you that> , but i would try what he said^ somtimes they just make noise.

Did you adjust the calipers with an allen key? There'as an allen head screw behind the caliper(it's got a rubber cover on it) that you turn to adjust the pistons in the rear calipers.

Damn.
Another way I ****** up while doing my brakes was to bend the clips that are on the top and bottom of the pads. One of the clips was digging into my rotor.
A third way I screwed them up was buying Axxis Ultimate pads. The design of those pads is such that the indicator tab wears a groove into your rotor.Or maybe I just couldn't get them to seat right. (scratch) I ended up buying OEM pads from the dealer for 100 bucks. It took care of both my problems, though.

I put Ceramix pads on my stock rotors, 20k miles later...... Stock rotors = Pooped out.
