I suspect the problem is due to not changing the pads at the same time as the rotors, but that's just my gut feeling and certainly not an expert opinion.
Agreed. I've been driving for a month now on the new rotors and the squeak / squeal has gotten worse.

All pistons have those discs still intact, and the pad backs have some strip on them. I'll look into all new Akebonos (best source?) Do I need any other further anti-squeal component as mentioned above?
