I got cross drilled and slotted rotors for my 97 cobra convertible. I also got ceramic brake pads about 7 months ago. Now it seems after ive been driving for about 10-15 mins, they squeak when I come to a stop, but its not constant. Its random, but the more I drive, the more it seems to randomly squeak below 15 mph when I hit the brakes. Any idea what the problem is?
Ceramic brakes squeak when warm?

This is typical with the ceramic pads. Yes they brake a ton better but produce alot of noise. I had them on my lexus and couldn't bare the "squeel". So I changed out to regular pads and the stopping power is no where near the ceramic pads. I would bare the noise if i were you. Try so spray them with some brake clean and see if that helps.

+1 to the brake cleaner. Or the other thing i did was, i took the caliper and re-lubed and cleaned off the inner piston and moving parts on the caliper and it seems to work wonders. Just my .02 
Take calipers apart and regrease the contact points of the pad to the caliper.
It may not work as it's a characteristic of ceramic pads.

Not really, I autocross my car and because of the rules structure I cannot change to a bigger brake. My pad of choice is Hawk blues both now and when I raced sports cars. The breaking ability is phenomenal, but... so is the squeal, it's just the way it is, I'm afraid you're stuck with it.
Mine used to squeak under light loads, but quieted down a lot when taxed. Keep 'em clean and you should be alright.
