Hi guys, recently picked up a Vq30 powered a32 in August
And the car seems to be in quite good condition except for this scraping noise coming from the LHS front disc. I've replaced the brake pads with Advice Japan ones and the sound is still there. Thinking of skimming the disc but I'm curious why the sound occurs at low speed braking only, especially when coming to almost complete stop.

Any ideas?

Hey bro. Thanks for the tip. Will try it out soon. Any idea why we need the grease on the back of the pads? I'm assuming u mean the side of the pads that's facing the caliper piston right?
