Default Brakes rubbing?

I dont know whats going on but i think that my brakes are rubbing, it makes a noise when i am driving slowly, or is it something else. it sounds like brake pads against the rotor is not realeasing, i was wondering if someone had the same problem. I have drilled/slotted rotors which i had for 8 months.

Thanks

I had a noise that drove me crazy when I was driving slow also. I ripped everything apart a couple times trying to figure it out. My dust shield was rubbing on the rotor just in one spot on the bottom. The clearance is very close and it was bent in one place just a little bit. I had to grind it down just a little.

is it possible that it would appear after 8 months of driving? i had the rotors out in 8 months ago, well on the other hand i always listen to music so maybe i never heard it, i'll check it out this weekend.

Thanks

I had the same problem as GUNRU-GS4. It was driving me crazy but it finally went away after 2-3 weeks of driving. I guess it eventually wore down a little from all the rubbing.
