Grinding noise from front

Hey all, I have a 2018 Max and have been hearing some grinding coming from the front somewhere. It seems like it only happens when the brakes get hot and the grinding noise only happens at low speeds... like when the car is about to come to a complete stop. I recently changed the brake pads on both the front (Brembo) and rear (O'reillys). Also changed the rotors in the front and I still hear the noise. Any ideas?

Based on your comments it sounds like pads on rotors noise. Did you do the work yourself or did you have a buddy do your brakes? Also curious why you did Brembo front and O'Reilly's rear. You might want to read up on how to "bed" your brakes.

Wheel Bearings packed when the brakes changed? Also curious about the Brembo performance improvements. Have always felt the stock brakes are just adequate.

Lol I was waiting for that question.... no reason figured I'd give them a try... they were only $60. unfortunately I didnt realize I needed the back and brembo didn't have the back pad, by then I had already received them. But yes I did it myself.
