Grinding noise when braking only when coming to complete stop. It has new rotors, pads, guide pins, and CV axle.
But it only starts grinding when I've been driving for a while.

Hello,

Did the retaining clips get installed properly? Also, what kind of brake pads were used and were the rotors replaced or turned?

Thanks,
Alex

The retaining clips were replaced and yes they were installed correctly. New rotors and new ceramic pads, from AutoZone. It only grinds after driving for a while, and if I brake fast.

Hello again,

Okay. That all sounds good. It might take a little bit for the pads to wear in, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
