Default NOISE after rear disc brake swap

I put 99 Integra brakes all around on my 99 EX and now it is super loud! I got an alignment and the tires seem to be wearing fine. The brakes don't seem to be dragging. If I am turning Right at high speed the noise goes away. I did not change the MC or proportioning valve. Has anyone experienced this??!!

There is no clicking or clunking, just sounds like a constant noise that gets louder the faster you go. Probably loudest around 65mph. Sounds like I have mud tires on there. This may be a stupid question but are there bearings on the rear spindles/hubs?

did you compress the pistons enough, maybe your pads are constantly rubbing the rotors, but very lightly(not enough for it to slow you down considerably), this happened when a swapped to rear discs. Sounds almost like a grinding stone.

1. Wheel bearing
2. Sticking caliper
3. Parking brake cable too tight causing drag.

Good way to tell if possible wheel bearing: drive 45+mph and lightly swerve to shift vehicle weight side to side. Swerve to right noise louder means its from the left side, swerve to left noise goes away because weight is being transfered to opposite side.

The noise goes away when I am turning Right so it must be the passenger side wheel bearing. Good stuff Echo! Thanks, Brian
