Brake Pad Replacement Question

A squeaking brake question.

Yes I admit I should have turned/replaced the rotors when I did this project but instead I replaced the pads, wear sensors, and replaced the dampening pads. (With parts sourced from our host -of course). The rotors had a lot of “meat” on them.

Prior to the pad change the brakes would squeak when warm. When the wear indicator light came on I replaced the pads.

I’ve only put 60 miles on the new pads and they still squeak (not as much- but they do).

Here is the question: Are the squeaking brakes (when warm) because of not turning the rotors or simply an issue with the brake pad material? Is it likely the squeak will go away completely as the pads get broken in?
