    Front end grinding

    I put on new pads and rotors front and rear this weekend and now I am getting a grinding noise from the front like the pads are dragging. I used EBC 7000 Series greens in the front and 6000 Series greens in the rear with Stoptech slotted rotors all around. I also inspected, cleaned, and repacked the front bearings with Royal Purple grease. Could it just be the rough break in surface on the pads or do I need to dig into it again and start looking for issues? Oh, I also cleaned and regreased the caliper slide pins with the specified grease that came with the pads as well as cleaned and adjusted the parking brake on both sides.

    Disregard, it is indeed the break in surface. The more I drive, the quieter it gets.
