I got those grooved from the group buy on here a few years ago, but have only just actually managed to try them out recently. I rebuilt the callipers also so they shouldn't be sticking & have new pads, but I can hear a road speed related ticking that goes away if I gently apply the brakes. I gave the brakes a proper workout the other day & the noise was awful after coming off the pedal for a second or so then seemed a little better after that.

Did anyone else find this problem with them?

The fronts are grooved too, but they have been for years & cause no problems.

Those stronger springs are brilliant, ticking & a load of other worrying noises all stopped with them fitted biggrin

As I was fitting them I remember APM Andy had told me years ago to use silicon on the back of the pads, but these seem more professional.
