Just got done, still have some minor screeching, could it be the new rotors? brake pads are still half to 3/4 left. This was a very easy job, had no issues other than they gave me rotors for 16" and mine are 15" wheels, just had to run back in town to exchange them out. Also it takes a 7mm allen to get the caliper off.
Thanks for your help, any suggestions would be great on the screeching, i also noticed sometimes when i turn the car on the abs light and the winter/slippery traction light stay lit, if i turn the car off they go away, could this be an ABS sensor?
You guys are great

What you describe could be crudded up wheel sensors and reluctance rings. If you have the wheels off anyway go ahead and clean them up. I just use brake cleaner but others will whine about that (I have had no problems).

It may or may not postpone the inevitable ABS module change but it is cheap and easy and thus worth a shot.

I mentioned the 7mm hex... maybe you missed it.. :D

if you never changed the ABS module since you owned the car, it's probably about time... :D
