Is it normal for your front brakes to squeak really loud after getting new rotors, pads, and sensors? If so, how long before they wear in enough to stop squeaking like that?

Need to re-bed them (Google brake bedding) and get a little heat into them a using few threshold braking actions (just shy of getting into ABS) from 80mph to 30-40mph. Once you get good pad material transferred to the rotor and some heat into the pads, the squealing should subside.

FWIW i spent a whole winter with brakes squealing (shortly after installing them) and it turned out some cleaning material (tire cleaner/wheel cleaner?) was causing it!
