Robb,
Surely on something like brakes, if you're not happy, which you're not, then take it back and get them to sort it, it is afterall a safety issue, and it's you that needs to be happy, not them!!

from experience it's probably down to the pad compound rubbing against the grooved disk- some pads make more noise than others- and the pads may need to be de-glazed.

PM stockcar and ask him- he's the brake expert these days
