I have just installed new ceramic pads on the front of the car. The brakes moan at the end of a complete stop and when you let up on the pedal. Will this go away?  
  
  
  
 Thank you

If you didn’t also replace the rotors, that noise may never go away, and may get worse.

Not likely. Did you use any ‘anti-squeel’ compound on the backs of the pads? And why did you switch from factory pads? If it proves to be a problem, you might try the compound, may need new rotors, or may need to stick with stock pads.
