EBC Green stuff brake pad help

I've had my ebc green stuff brake pads installed for about 750 miles now. I let them bed in for 300 miles like it said on the box. but lately for about the last 100 or so miles I find that they make a grinding noise, kind of what the old used up brake pads would make when I would brake at a light. usually when I'm coming to a slow gradual stop. it doesnt always happen. I speed and sudden stop braking is not affected, they bite really good when I get on the brake pedal. any help would be great. thanks guys.

oh and I'm using stock rotors.

I'm using redstuff and only have about 600 miles on them they have yet to make that noise, however, I do know the noise you speak of, did you install them yourself or have a shop do it, if a shop did it talk to them and see what they say, otherwise, unless you notice, damage to the rotor or your car stops working, I wouldn't worry about it.

1) did u put that "sqeek stop" grease behind your pads?? that could be a reason.

2) are your rotors in good shape? If not, get them machined.

Most likely it is your rotors. My old ones did that and they were warped. Best bet would be to replace your rotors with brembo blanks. that is what I have with ebc greenstuff, works awesome.
