2000 3.8 with brake squeek

HI

Wife's kid mover, my maintenance chore. I've done the front and rear brakes a number of times on the van. Over the past 2 months the brakes squeek, kinda like the sound a transit bus makes, not a pulse or grind, squeek. It's less when you really push on the pedal but rolling to a stop it really squeeks. The pads are at 3/4 thickness, the rotors were new when the pads were installed. Haven't checked the rears but am pretty sure it's coming from the front. Last weekend I removed and lubricated the 4 sliders on the calipers. I'm kind of wondering why this sound is here now. Pitted or scored rotors? Fyi, raybestos pads..

Brake pad wear is even, calipers were new at last pad/rotor changeover.

Ideas?
