Grinding Noise from the brake

Hello all,
I recently got rotors from rotorpros and I love it!
However, when I apply brakes all the way (push the brake pedal all the way) and when it comes to stop and then release it, it makes grinding noise but it works fine with no issue.
What do I have to do?
Do I have to go to the place where I got my rotors replaced and tell them to put grease or something?
Thank you all in advance :)
 
1 -A problem could be your pads if there cheap or worn
2-binding or misaligned calipers can cause this sounds
3-need to check all the fasteners,clips etc that holds pads or shoes, sounds like pads loose in holders moving back and forth

p.s. -Also when installing, anti-glide grease should be applied to the slider bolts or pins. You may have sticking caliper or calipers. When the mechanic installed he may have touched the rotors with greasy hands
 
My Hawk HPS and Powerslot are the same. It is not an issue at all. You don't have to worry about it. High performance brake pads with slotted rotors will have that problem, especially your pads consist of more irons.
 
On the one hand I feel lucky that I'm not the only one with this break noise issue but having only 31,000 km on the vehicle and 65% of my brake pads life left I am utterly frustrated. Radovan
 
i recently got really irate with all the grind noise. I bought red brake glue or sticky compound and applied it everywhere. Behind the pads, all the clips, fasteners. Also noticed the hawks were sitting in an angle ( you knpw the clip on the pad that touches the outter caliper. Well i bend it out, now my pads sit perfect straight, no angle, just like oem. After all, i put everything back on no more grinding!!. Sometimes ill get a squeak, thats because i over braked, rotors are too hot. Slotted and drilled rotors will stop the problem. Its been a mount and no more grinding, no squeaks during reverse ( note i got oem pads on the rears) Also adjusting the pad clip so it wont sit slanted helped.
 
What you are suggesting is a pretty major dismantell Perhaps I will take a printout of your fix to my service manager and let his guys bust knuckles. As I don't drive the vehicle it is my wife's car who is so frustrated she is ready to let the vehicle rolled backwards off a cliff in neutral.
 
If you have oem pads, dont bother adjusting any clips, there fine, this is for noisy aftermarket pads. But apply small amount of disk brake quiet behind thr pads and etc. You can tackle this on your own its fairly simple. Also read great reviews on the Akebono ceramic pads, maybe its time to switch.
Good luck!
