Quick brakes question:
About 2 months ago I switched to slotted brembos up front. I didnt think it mattered which way the slots faced. Ive read that it "can" matter. If they are facing the wrong way, could that have anything to do with extra noise coming from that area? Sound like pads are bad (they are same age as rotors). Keep in mind that to the best of my knowledge, I did eveything right when I put that new pads and rotos on. What else could make that noise? Like a faitn perpetual scrapping noise. Shhhh, kind of sound. Its not the wind.

the calipers/ pins may be sticking/ hanging a little. the piston may be sticking,
and possibly its just the normal noise for the type of pad as it lightly brushes against the rotor face.
