Question Rotora brakes making a squeeking/rubbing sound?

At low speeds with out the brake engaged it sounds like there's some rubbing causing a squeeking sound.

I have bled the brakes twice, there's no air in the lines.

I have the 4 piston front, 2 piston rear and large drilled/slotted rotors - big brake upgrade kits by Rotora.

The sound seems to be coming from one of both of the rear brakes.

Anybody else experience this or have an idea on what might help?

sorry no help here, but I just wanted to know if you can post pics of ur car with the brakes. I am very close to ordering the same set up, front and rear. Hope the noise works out.

If it's like a moaning hum noise coming from the rear. It's the rear pads rubbing off on the rotor. I know rotora has produced a new formulation for the rear pads.

I'm on their new formualtion of rear pad and now more moaning noise. Then again I'm on there ceramic pad set up.

Sounds exactly like what's happening.
Any idea how to fix the problem? They shouldn't be rubbing non-stop...
It's rubbing when I'm not even applying the brake...
