Take the pads off. Put some antisqueel paste (you can pick this up in any auto store) in the back of the pads and... you are good to go!

And you may need to do the brake pad break in procedure
Its usually good to get several normal heat and cool cyles on the rotors
then do the bedding in procedure

Enjoy your newfound stopping power!

Bedding procedure is breaking in (seasoning) the rotor.

Exclamation squeeling brakes

can someone please help me on this....I recently bought rotora rotors and axxis break pads all around, and 2 months later when i brake they are still squeeling. I have taken them twice to the shop and cannot figure it out. I have put an anti-squeel paste, bedded the brakes twice, and still no solution. Starting to feel like its maybe the brake pads itself.

Axxis suck (IMHO). Also did you use the paste or the grease? shims or no shims? Did you grease the contact points where the pads touch the caliper
