Alright here we go again with these damn brakes. All of my rotors sound like they are rubbing against that back metal plate that spots where it scrapes against it because its clean metal and scraped up. These are brand new rotors and they have this inner ring in the inside part of them and so did the stock ones they almost look a little bigger than the stock ones but its to hard to tell. And the rotores are ment for 98 GST so i dont understand what the hell is going on. Someone please help if they no whats going on because this break problem is starting to frusterate me!!
 
sounds like you have the wrong rotors. measure them and make sure they are the same dimensions as your old ones. you may also have shifted one of the slide clips in too far and it could be dragging
 
No they are the right size everything aligns up right. I just don't get it, when im going like 40-45 or higher you really don't hear it but when im at low speeds like 20-30 its crazy loud. I've gone over each wheel twice to double check if i messed anything up and everything is okay, do you think the rotors just need to grind down or something?
 
Hate to point out the obvious, but did you bend those plates back?
Chances are you needed a hammer to get the old ones off. A miscalculated swing could easily bend them the wrong way.
I just did mine. It made the noise, I took the tire off, bent it back by hand, and the noise was gone...

Hope that's all it is...
 
I use the hammer only on the back rotors. I tapped the rotor with the hammer and then that finally came off. So are you saying bend it back towards the rotor or away from it?? But it also sounds like it comes from every wheel.
