Exclamation brake noises

ever since i got the svx the left front brake squeals alot when stopping. i had the dealership turn the rotors and have had them checked more than once and everyone says they are fine. well now i've noticed grooves starting to form on the rotor and the squealing is getting worse.it's even started doing it for about the first fifty feet after i stop with no brakes on! it's starting to worry me alittle and i need to fix it.i haven't gotten to look at the pads yet(won't stop raining or get warm- i hate ohio!)but i was told they looked real good just 2000 miles ago when my oil was changed.any ideas?

I would bet it's a pad problem (course it could be caliper related) and given the fact that ohio has been a little wet lately, could be fod on the pads rubbing into the rotors.
Who looked at the brake pads (and why) during an oil change????

i had them rotate the tires and the shop i go to checks everything when you get service done.they are very good shop.they said my brakes looked really good. is there a shim someone maybe didn't put in or something? i'm probally gonna get some hi po pads and slotted rotors off ebay for it soon.

When your ready to do rotors/pads (consider stainless lines also) contact Ben at Race Concepts (do a search here for contact info) he'll give you a good deal
