Default EBC Brakes

I bought some EBC Brakes and rotors for my 03 IS300 and its been about three months since i have put them on and im getting a grinding noise from them. Like the pads are are slightly rubbing against the rotors while I drive.
Any suggestions to get this to stop.

Remove the pads...check for any small rocks or debris that got trapped between the pad and rotor. If nothing appears to be trapped, you might have a frozen caliper piston. If so, it's not hard to rebuild yourself. Just buy a rebuild caliper kit...should include new piston seals, boots, and some lithium grease packets.

Make sure the rotor isnt rubbing inside the caliper bracket. Sometimes the rotor is a little too tall.
