I had the same problem when I replaced my brakes on my 98 PF. The noise wasn't a squeal it was more of a grind like yours. I had the same problem with a Subaru years ago. It ended up I used cheap aftermarket brakes from a local auto parts store. For the Subaru I bought a second pair of pads at the dealer, which took care of that one. The PF I bought a set of pads from the Tire Rack.com. They were called Pro-Act I think they were ceramic. Anyway that took care of the brake grind on the PF. The brakes work great now and have for about 25,000 miles, quite and hardly any dust. So, my advice would be to buy a set of really good quality pads and put them on. Good Luck.
