2012 RX 450h squeeky stops

when stopping the front end squeeks, but not with a soft rolling stop. Is this a symptom of worn bushings or a need for lubrication? The car just underwent a 60,000 maintenance at Lexus.

Is it only the first few stops in the morning and specially after rain. Lexus rotors are very susceptible to surface rust and they squeal till the rust is removed.

Ceramic brake pads? Toss them. Replace with semi mets. Also, rotors are likely glazed and need to be de-glazed. roughened, in lay terms. Look at them. Are they mirror shiny?
