Annoying Brake Squeak

Annoying Brake Squeak
Ok initially I was having my rear passenger brake squeak when I was applying light brake pressure. This prompted me to change the pads obviously. I went ahead and just got a set of rear ceramic pads.
Now after the install, I'm getting squeaking when over 25mph that is intermittent (like "squeak, squeak, squeak, etc) until I apply light pressure to the brake and then it goes away.
Any suggestions would be awesome, because we all know once you hear it once, it is all you can hear...

First thing I'd try is a really good bedding in process: get out on a deserted road and take it up to about 45 mph and then brake hard (not ABS inducing) to about 15 mph. Do this a few times. Then take it up to about 60 and do the same thing. Then drive home using the brake as little as possible and let them cool. If its still squeaking after that you may need to get the rotors resurfaced.

Did you align the notches on the face of the caliper piston to fit over the pin on the back side of the in-board brake pad before re-installing the caliper?
Also check to see that when the caliper is installed over the springs on the top of the pads, that it didn't **** the pad at an angle relative to the rotor.
