Weird Noise coming from my brakes

A few months ago i upgraded to cross drilled/slotted rotors and got maxiss high preformance pads. Now i notice when i'm an urban highway (speed limit of 55mph with traffic signals) when i hit my brakes and then let go, it sounds like the pads are sticking, like if u were running ur hand over a cross drilled rotor with water inbetween it makes that noise like air voids are blowing through. When I first noticed the noise i looke up at the high power lines thinking it was them but it was my brakes.

Now besides the squeeling i get, the "sticking noise" it makes only lasts for a few seconds but doesn't actually stick, the car doesn't slow down at all, just makes a noise when i release my foot off the brake? Anyone know what the hell it is?

Would a stock Nissan pad fix this problem? I was just skeptable about using a stock pad on a better rotor. But if u don't beat on ur high preformance pads when u first get them, then u will get a squeel and i was being gentle.

I checked my brake fluid and its fine just can't find the reason for the noise? Any help is appreciated

AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, THE DEALER WON'T LOOK AT THE BRAKES CAUSE THEY AINT STOCK

perhaps it's the caliper pins or maybe even the piston that's sticking or making the noise.

I posted this tread in the 6th gen forum and got some answers for the "ticking noise"

Here is a link for the answer http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=413373
