With the squeaking, just give it a couple of very hard stops from 30 mph (on a safe road of course) and it'll go away. Driving the car like a normal person will cause brake pad buildup on the rotors and caliper pad area and thats where the squeaking comes from, normally.
I think you meant the PowerStop Z26 (see these 1LE specific front and rear pads as examples).

My experience is that after burnishing I can drive the car "normally" for hundreds of miles and there is little to no pad buildup, no squeaking either, and I'm using the stock Ferodo HP1000/1 pads.
