A. Your rotors were not cleaned before installation. There is an anti-rust coating (sometimes just oil) on most rotors for storage purposes. It is easily removed with dish soap and water (no harsh chemicals required).
B. Your pads may have a coating to enhance the break-in process. This should burn off fairly quickly in normal use.
C. You may have slight contamination on the friction surfaces from performing the brake job itself.
What else can I help you with?
What would cause a 97 Maxima to vibrate when you apply the brakes?
your brake rotors are warped. You should repalce you brake pads and have the rotors resurfaced if possible, or replaced.
Why do my brakes squeak when it rains?
When it rains, water can get on your brake pads and cause them to squeak due to reduced friction between the pads and the rotors.

pads
What are brake calipers?
Brake calipers are the hydraulic devices that wrap around the rotors and pinch the brake pads into the rotors when you stop.
What causes a warped brake rotor?
Excessive or heavy and continuous braking may warp brake rotors. Braking hard (heating the rotors a lot) and then going through water (which quickly cools the hot rotors) may also cause the rotors to warp. If the brake pads or brake rotors are getting thin, the rotors will warp more easily.
How much heat is expected after changing brake pads and rotors?
Some as the pads and rotors break in but it shouldn't be excessive.
Why would the front rotors turn after changing the brake pads and rotors?
Possible wrong rotors???
Should new brake pads be tight against the rotors during installation?
No, new brake pads should not be tight against the rotors during installation. There should be a small gap between the pads and the rotors to allow for proper braking performance and to prevent excessive wear on the pads and rotors.
Do you need a torque wrench when replacing pads and rotors?
You do not need a torque wrench when replacing brake pads and rotors. Some of the tools needed to change the rotors and pads are the c-clamp, sockets, wrench, grease, and brake cleaner.
Do you need to drain brake fluid when changing brake pads and rotors?
no
