New PADS, New ROTORS, Balanced TIRES. still alot of noise !

raybestos quitestops, brembo xdrilled/slotted rotors, installed 150 miles ago and still alot of noise !

road noise when rolling and noise when braking !

my good year's are extremly noisy when im driving and on top of that, new pads and rotors didnt quite down my ride at all. i still hear this kinda GRINDING noise when i hit the brakes. what can i do to get rid of this annoying brake noise? is it normal??

your brake pads probably worn all the way down to the metal so it's grinding now.

It's your tires making the noise not your brakes.

Grinding or a worrr worrr worrr worrr noise?

Your complaint is noise both rolling and while braking. You just put all new brakes in, the only other thing left is the tread on your tires. Tire noise is sometimes difficult to diagnoss. It's often confused with wheel bearing noise. Bearing noise comes and goes with side to side load. Tire tread noise at highway and low speeds or while braking is more of a sound or note rather then grinding of two hard objects.

Exactly which tire is on your car? H, W, or Z rated?
How many miles are on them and have then been rotated correctly?
A bad front end alignment can cause cupping of the tread which will definalely make your tires humm an annoying note.

they are good early eagle high performance summer. im not sure what the rating is. the noise is more like "worr worr worr" as u called it. my tires have about 12000 miles on them. the noise i hear during braking is different than the tire noise....

Take the brakes apart and check everything. It's not hard, should take you less then 1 hour to check the whole car. After then put a different set of wheels and tires on (borrow a buddies) and see what it sounds like.
