Usually its not the rotors that squeak its the pads. When you apply pressure the pads vibrate at high speeds which is what can cause squealing .. did you use the anti-squeal "DISC BRAKE QUIET" stuff when you installed them?

I'd go to a local auto parts store and pick up a bottle of that stuff. Its usually a bright neon orange gel but I've seen it in a neon green too .. take the brakes back apart and smear some of that stuff on the backs of the pads then reinstall, it usually works. when it hardens its a rubbery substance that dampens vibrations on the pads.
