Front brakes griding noise

2005 CIVIC 4 DR, Auto LXG

Hi guys here is my situation

Had my front brakes done 4 months ago. New pads and machined the old rotors.

after 4 moths my front brakes were vibrating. What I did was replaced my old rotors with new ones. Does not vibrate any more. I also did not machine the new rotors.

When I start braking and slowing down to a stop I here a bit of griding noise from my front brakes. Any idea on what it could be?

thanks

its prolly breaking in. mine did that too and it gets less noticable over time. the pad and rotor surface need to grind in and match and also when the pad is thick, it may make some noises. could also be the rotor or pad if theyre aftermarket, alot of brands tend to be noisy compared to what honda has. i dont think you should worry.

You should always try to change rotors and pads together..
