Default Rear passenger side brake squeak

I have searched and searched for my issue but it seems no one has had this issue or I can't find it.

I just replaced all my rotors with power slot rotors (love them) and now my rear passenger side brake squeaks when I release the brake pedal to start moving forward. It happens every time I do this. My brake pads are good and it doesn't squeak when I apply my brakes to come to a stop. Please help!

Did you use brake quiet spray on the back of the pads, there is also a shim kit on some models as a recall maybe this wasn t put back correctly

No, but the thing is i didn't touch or replace my pads since they had a ton of meat left. All I did was replace my rotors. I'm going to take the wheel off this weekend and inspect it up close.

make sure the caliper isnt frozen on the lower pin it will still pivot but it must go in and out on the pin aswell

I will check that as well. As I was driving today I noticed it squeaks as I'm taking off without letting the brake pedal completely go, kinda dragging it on purposes. It seems as if it happens as the brakes are being released.

I have F Sport brakes (StopTech I believe) and it does that when I take off after the car has sat for a few hours. Doesn't make any noise from then on...like when leaving a traffic light until I stop the car again for several hours.

I don't think that is the problem since I didn't use any lubricant when I was swapping out my rotors. My fronts are fine, it's just both my back breaks.

I wish mine only did it like that lol. Hopefully I will figure it out this weekend. I kinda wanted to wait until I put my bigger spacers on but it's pretty damn annoying.
