Brake Grinding....

the car is a kia sedona. changed the brake pads a few days ago. brakes seems fine one day after installation. no squeaks, rattles, whatsoever. 2 days passed brakes make a loud grinding sound!! btw i used an aftermarket brake pad kit thats made in japan, (im sure its better than OEM thats made in korea) and it says in the box that its a non-asbestos type brake pad.

when the brakes are cold, theres no "grinding" noise yet. but when i drive a couple of miles and the brakes warm up, thats when that noise appears. its like metal to metal and its driving me nuts!!!1

do brake pads & brake discs need sanding before installation? or is there a "break-in" process for newly installed brake pads??

another thing though im in asia.....thanks in advance peeps...
