Brake Squeak
I just recently, about 3 weeks ago, got the new MAZDASPEED Brake pads on my front and back. 3 days after there were installed my brakes began to squeak and have been since.
Could there be any reasons as to why they would be???
Any suggestions help
Thanks!

When you installed the pads, did you install the shims and/or put some anti-squeal goo between the pads and the calipers? (sorry, don't know if the Mazdaspeed pads come with shims)
Also, check the metal clips are installed.
Also, did you grease the caliper slides.

I did this and they haven't squeaked since, except when very cold or very wet.
Might not work, but it's worth a shot.

Some brake pad brands are more prone to squeaking than others but as mentioned above proper bedding in of the pads plus using the OEM shims plus synthetic high temp brake grease on the back of the pads and between the shims almost always reduces or eliminates squealing. My guess is that the dealer left off the shims and didn't grease them, and that combined with not bedding them in and being a performance/street pads got you squealing.
