Err is that english? Just a bit hard to read mate.

From what your saying i take it you didnt machine the rotors when you changed the pads? Theres your problem. The pads will squeak for a while as they will take longer to bed into a non-flat rotor.

have you ever bought new rotors for your car?......90% of the time,thats the case with commodores,they only have a wear limit of 19 mm.also did you put disc brake anti squeal goo on the back of your pads? if theres enough meat left on your rotors(more than 19mm,have them machined,as they might be glazed or have small/large ridges on surface)then put anti squeal on back of pads,this should fix your problem.

Bed the brakes in properly and they won't squeak. Go to a nice long straight road with no traffic, get up to 60kmh, brake HARD but don't lock the brakes up, slow down to about 10kmh, don't come to a complete stop. Do this about 5 or 6 times until you can really smell the brakes. Then drive around for about 10 minutes, avoiding braking if you can, after that all should be good.
