Default Brake Pads/Rotor Question

Hi Gents,

Seeking your expertise. Two ago weeks I changes the pads and rotors in my 2011 Subaru WRX. Parts came from NAPA. Pads are the top of the line product from NAPA (if any consolation?). Car has 54k miles and this is the second set of pads I've put on it but first time I changed the rotors. I had the original rotors cut/resurfaced during my first brake servicing.

I rarely use the car due to work travel so I've only put on about 10 miles since doing the service. I noticed that when the brakes get hot it appears the pads/rotors stick. Almost like the brakes have a squeak to them that does not go away - as the wheels turn and the brakes are not applied the pads remain to some degree touching the rotors? I was thinking possibly the rotors are not perfectly round and/or the pads are not flush?

Thanks for the time and looking forward to any suggestions. The car does stop very well and there is no performance loss at all - just an annoying noise.

Thanks,
Dan
