Just installed rotors and ceramic brakes on the rear of my '08 3. After driving for about a half hour, when you come to a complete stop and begin to accelerate there's a noise coming from the rear that sounds like, well, a fog horn........only way to explain it. Only does this after a half hour drive and it continues every time I come to a complete to, then accelerate.........any ideas????

Did you grease everything up good?
Pad/caliper retraction springs new or reused?

They're cheap and it's definitely a while you're in there type of part. And when a pad is well used the spring has to bend farther so it could be saggy and not retracting fully.
