I've never had squeeky stock brakes, but my Lyndalls squeeked a little at first. I asked a mechanic about them and he said that brakes will glaze if they are not used hard. He told me to go make a few runs and brake hard then see what happens. Sure enough, no more squeeky brakes. I've not bought Lyndalls for new 09 SG, but my stock brakes have never squeeked. I'm one of those riders that kiind of brakes hard at stops, so I think glaze never builds up. You might be one of those riders who is typically easy on brakes and are getting some glaze.

Installed new pads (front & rear) this year on my '08 and the squeaks are gone so far (~1k miles). Yeah, mine was screaming on the way home when I bought it too...
