Brakes squeaking -HELP!!!!

i have a 2000 trans am ws6. has 53k on it. i bought it about a year ago and not long after i bought it the brakes started squeaking all the time. had a few places look at it and said maybe just need new pads, so i tried that, didn't work. I just had a new place look at it and said it's the rear rotors and they need replaced. SO i got brand new rear rotors ..brand new pads for the rear rotors andd front, and the brakes STILLL squeak. i've only had the new rotors on 2 days. DO the new rotors just need time to set in? My brakes squeak BADLY around 80% of the time. It's usually when i tap them or push them in half way...if i push hard and all the way down they dont' squeak but at all other times they do, it's sooo annoying when i'm driving through parking lots and even down the road and always hear it!!! PLZ help!

It could be anything. First thing I would check is maybe your wheel bearings. But also when you changed brakes did you use brake grease on contact places? That's the only thing I can think of other than the pads are bad.
