the pad spring clips are installed wrong in most cases...the rotor heat shield may also have been bent scraping on the rotor.

Re: brakes

prob the rotor backing plate, they tend to rot and get distorted.

Re: brakes

double check your backing plates look for any bare metal spots on the backing plate when you remove your rotor, if nothing there i would check the e brake shoe.
