Is it normal to hear a groaning sound when depressing brakes?

Sanded the brake pads and disc, as per mechanic, masyado daw matigas, nagiging shiny masyado ung disc due to lack of friction on light braking. Then after 2.1k kms, it happened again, I noticed a black streak on some portions of the disc. I think this is the cause of sound wherein the pads touches that black thingy (not burnt). This time i diy the sanding of both and proper bed in procedure, plus cleaning. After <500kms, i can now see these black streak again. Tsk. Its only a matter of time before I hear it again, im sure. Really disappointed at them Akebono's. Got the reco from the brake pad thread and the bought at the named supplier.

Now, I'm just gonna have to diy that pita every +- 2k kms, until its done. Then, i'll change to Nissin. Hopefully, its better.

bendix is cheap, palitan mo nalang kaysa every 2k km ka nagbabaklas.

I'm just maximizing the pads to the extent of my hardwork. Hahahah. Pag napagod na ako, palitan ko na.

Yeah. Pad transfer is very evident. Shame lang cause it's priced twice of bendix and just a few hundreds shy of Nissin. Charged to experience na lang.

bro bendix and other brands naman are not brake fade proof. pero na sand mo na yung rotor, so malamang nga baka lemon yun nakuha mo? di pwede humingi replacement from the seller?

Yes, bro. Brake cleaner, IPA wipe, brake grease, brake fluid, lahat pinalitan ko na. Lemon, that i don't know, but even if it is, I'll just replace them sooner or later, hassle pa bumalik sa supplier.

Ano na kaya nangyari kay TS? Any update, sir/ma'am?

Naririnig ko parin sya. Minomonitor ko kung kailan ko sya naririnig, and I also have recorded some videos with the sound.

Preparation nalang since balak ko talaga sya ipatingin sa 1K PMS. Isasagad ko na since baka nga talagang bago lang yung pads at mawawala sya by the time PMS na. Yung video, ipapakita ko kapag by that time alam kong meron paring tunog pero di nakisama si unit at hindi tumunog pag nasa casa na. Kaunti nalang naman, by September 28 1 month check up na.

Update after 1K PMS: Service Advisor said it's nothing to worry about, sabi nya pag caliper type (disc) daw yung brakes, normal lang yung sound. Kasama din naman yung brakes sa routine check nila every PMS, at wala naman sila nakita, so I guess it's not a big deal. Nabyahe ko na din sya back and forth from QC to Batangas (after the 1K PMS), at wala naman ako naging issue.

I might get a second opinion from another casa or from another outside service shop, pero di naman na sya masyadong worrying.
