I've been having rotor/pad noise in the rear from both wheels for at least a year now and I decided to get to the bottom of it this morning. The rear rotors are "centric premium rotors" with OEM Acura pads. Maybe this is a bad combo? The fronts are power slot slotted rotors with OEM Acura pads and they don't make any noise.
First thing I found out was that the brake dust shield was rusted and screwing with the rotors, so I took them shits out with a little saw and some yanking. I adjusted the hand brake a little because it seemed that the hand brake pads were rubbing inside the rotor. The noise has definitely lessened by 60%, however the rotors and pads are still making noise like the pads are rubbing against the rotor constantly. The calipers are fine and not frozen. The rotors may be warped and I am going to get them resurfaced tomorrow at Napa Auto Parts so I hope the noise goes away!
Anyone have any other ideas? I've searched but couldn't find relevant info.
