Does it vibrate when you start breaking? Or just vibrate in general?

Ok, if you are running stock pads and rotors, then if you are getting the grinding, it is because the stock pads move around alot. It is normal. I had the same problem. Also another thing is your rotors could be warped. Most likely it is because the stock pads shift around alot. Best bet would be to upgrade your rotors to brembo blanks and some performance pads. I have brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads and they are great. No grinding or noises what so ever. And the stopping is way better then stock.
