ive been running the zx brakes up front for some time now. after two months of running them, i ran into a problem. It squeaks like hell. so recently i changed the brake pads and rotors because i thought they were bad. the old rotors ended up being warped. and i am still coming up with the same problem, but worse. what could be the problem of my super loud squeking brakes. its even louder when turning from left to right. and abviously it only squeakes when the car is in motion. let me know what the problem could be. thanks

parts used:
300zx 30mm calipers.
new cross drilled and slotted rotors
raybestos semi metalic pads
steel braded lines.
valvoline synthetic brake fluin.

**assume all other parts like suspension and hubs are in good condition*

thanks
