I recently changed my rotors and pads a few weeks ago. I put on Brembo blank rotors and Akebono protech pads. Since changing my brakes, I easily put 1k miles on them. I been getting a squeak from 1 wheel ever since putting the new rotors and pads on. I get this squek about 65% of the time (maybe more as I usually have my radio turned up), and gets worse if it rains. I figured the squak would go away after a while, but now it's getting to a point where it's annoying. It squeks when rolling, but then the noise stops as soon as I apply the brake. Anybody else having this issue or know what the squeak can be? It sounds like it's coming from my front passanger wheel.

By the way, these damn rotors look horrible now as they're all rusty. Is rusty rotor hubs commen with these cars?

rusty rotor hubs are normal. if they werent sprayed with some kind of anti-rust, its normal to get nasty over time.
it sounds like your brakes need some brakelube applied to the hardware. brake lube, brake grease, etc.
try that out and you should be fine afterwards

As I've suggested in the thread you created a while back on which rotor to get. I suggested that you looked into the Rotora or DBA rotors since they have a coating on the hub to prevent rust. Also, you want to remove the caliper and check where the brake pad backing plate rides on and make sure that its clean and lubed up correctly. Next put some of that brake quite stuff btw. the backing plate and rattle shims. This should solve your squealing problem.
