AU Rx8 front brake pads and rotors

Hi guys

I recently got my front brake pads on my rx8 changed n the front disc machined
my cars got 49,400km on it ... I know ur not ment to machine the disc"s on the rx8 but I did some research and some ppl on the forum say it's okay , but I have one problem I been driving with the new pads n the machined rotors for about 500k when I step on the brakes they still squeel and gives me the sh!tz!!! Is this because I machined my brake rotors in stead of replacing them .Why could this be ?? Or should I just go and buy a set of new front disc

sometimes aftermarket pads are really hard therefore could cause the noise. i jsut recently bought my 8 and noticed some squeaking noises wen i brake but i think mine are coming from the rear. try run ur finger across the rotor. if its rough/rigid the sound could be coming from the rotors and not machined well. if its smooth maybe the pads
