PROBLEMS WITH NEW BRAKE SYSTEM

ok i just installed all new brakes on my iroc.. everything. rotors, calipers, lines pads. everything and after a few weeks the started to make a really bad grinding sound when stopping. not a sqeak a grind.. and god knows all of us hate to hear that noise.. does anyone have any clue what it could be?

ps i would have gotten 1LE if i had known about being able to interchange. but i didnt know much this summer about all of that..

I would take the wheels off again and check everything carefully. Spin each wheel inturn before removing it as this may identify which brake is faulty. Look for any signs of metal rubbing against metal or loose bolts etc. I always use thread lock on brake bolts as I have had calipers fall off with previous cars.
