brake noises....

when i let off the brake as im inching forward there is a rubbery like deep noise coming from the brakes...this happened before i installed my rotors, and still happens. but only now that ived installed the power slot rotors, it makes a clicking sound as i brake along with that other noise. any ideas? id like to fix this before my dad comesh ome so he doesnt smack me(though he has a valid reason for doing so) for screwin up the car again!

Sounds like the pad didn't get set when you reattached the caliper. The clicking is probably something running into the slots.

Keep in mind what I say is purely speculation. I can't give an accurate diagnosis unless I was checking out your ride first hand. Jack your car up (preferably on the side you hear a click) and check how your parts are arranged, make sure everything is where it should be and that nothing is rubbing/touching/on fire. There have also been other reports of clicking from the wheel area and could possibly be a CV joint. Take a look around Troubleshooting and see what you come up with.
