[Shotimes] REAR ROTORS

Have you replaced the caliper bracket?  That was the root cause of my rear
brakes acting up.  The bracket gets bent or warped and causes chirping and
groaning like you describe.  Having a bent bracket also doesn't help the
slider pins.  Took me about 1.5 years to replace the brackets and finally
fix my annoying rear brakes.
