squeaks suck

well a few months ago i machined my front rotors and replaced the pads. then a couple weeks ago the front right started to queak badly when i braked. well i miked it and it was very uneven and at the limit of machining.

so...i went and got new front rotors and pads from autozone thursday and replaced them. they seemed fine, but last night while working i noticed they sorta still squeaked when i braked. then this morning as i was driving through a parking lot i noticed a constant but subtle squeal as i drove below 30. wtf?! :banghead:

the calipers were replaced awhile ago due to a bad piston seal so they arent bad, the rotors and pads are brand new...what the hell
