About 3 weeks ago I put on new rotors and pads with the hardware kit and notice that once in a while when I slow down I get that sqealing noise coming from the front brakes but does it a random times. Its never done it before when I changed brakes before is there something else I should check or just got a bad set of rotors or pads.

did you make sure to use plenty of caliper grease on the shims and earmarks?
if not, they'll squeel.

+1 that and if your new hardware was pushed to far in, it may touch the rotor. pull of ur tires and make sure pad only is on the rotor. not the slide clips.

Hey sorry for the late post on this been so busy just had time to get back on. Ill check the clips today because I did put the disc brake quiet on everthing that needed but I do notice a scratching noise at slow speeds besides it sounding like a bus at times when i stop on bumps so thanks for the heads up guys ill let you know how things go.

Brake Grease always seemed like a weird combination
till I saw it done and was amused to find out it goes
on the OUTSIDE of the pad. *facepalm*

Yeah you need to use that cause new brakes that squeak is
just not acceptable
I would bet that you just need to adjust your clearance tho
since you hear the grind at low speeds with no breaking
