1996 4-runner horrible grinding brakes.

Hey,

I noticed a slight squeaking in my brakes when i pressed them in, so i took it to the shop and they told me I needed new pads. They replaced the pads, and a week or so later I noticed a horrible grinding type noise when i slow down. It's not all the time, and it seems like it's alot worse in wet or humid conditions. I took it back and they replaced my Roter? I believe it was called. After they replaced that, it worked for a week. It started doing it again, I took it to another shop and they can't find anything wrong with it. The noise/vibration i feel is hard to explain. It feels like the pads are rubbing, and when i slow down to a complete stop you can just feel something rubbing on it. I drive really hard, The brakes especially. I tried to see if i had to slam them on alot, it added to it, but it seems to do it worst in wet/humid conditions. It's alot worse and noticeable at slow speeds. When I barely even tap them, I can feel it. I'm going to endup taking it to the Toyota Dealership if I can't figure anything out. I took it to a local goodyear place and they drove it for about 20 minutes and couldn't get it to mess up. I hope someone else has had this similair problem. Thanks for the help
