brake problems

I just put in new pads and slotted rotors and a couple weeks later, there was some rough noise. Almost as if somethings is grinding. But everything is brand new. What is wrong? I did not bleed the brakes. could that have anything to do with it? The brakes seem fine when I first get in the car, but after a couple stops is when they start to make an aweful noise.
anyone know

did you ever think that it could be the slotted rotors...and the pads? That would produce more noise than the stock application or blank rotors for that matter....it could also be that your pads are worn.... :dunno:

First, you don't need to bleed when you change your rotors and pads. Except if you remove the hose from the caliper and you're not suppose to do that.

Second, remove your wheel and take a look if everything is fine and well installed.
