Just some random questions, did you grease the new pads? I never used to till I had one that kept locking up on me and grinded and smoked real bad. Also, you said the rotor was evenly worn, but did you check the front and the back side of the rotor. I would take the pads back out and check everything, the new pads, the rotors again, I would just check everything and check it again, could be something small you are over looking or you forgot to do. Hope this helps, good luck.

Sadly, I've seen people put the anti-squeal lubricant on the friction surface of the pads as well as put pads in backwards.
The guy who put the pads in backwards was PISSED the parts store wouldn't honor the warranty on the rotors.

Ok well I took it back apart today and I fee like an idiot but...I put one of the pads on backwards. :doh: so I gathered up my tools and traded it for my new purse, nice isn't it?

Hahaha not really....
But I did get to take it back apart today. I regreased everything, I switched the sides of the rotor the pads were on and I straightened up a slightly bent brake pad bracket. I'm not sure which one fixed it but I don't have any noises now. Hopefully it'll stay that way.
Thanks for the input everyone.
