Default brake problem

So I finished a brake swap a month or so ago.

The rotors that I used were warped / cracked.

So I put on autozone blanks and hawk pads. Cruised on them for about 1k miles.

They SQUEEAK like a mother ****er, sounds like one of those little metal clips in the caliper are rubbing on the rotor but I've taken the ****ers apart several times and they are look pretty aligned right. Also when coming to a stop it sounded like a really bad grinding noise.

I went to florida on spring break so i decided to say **** it.

bought 4 BRAND new rotors, and just some OEM napa replacement pads.

put them on and the SAME noises were happening, i figured I just needed to break the pads / rotors in but after 3500 miles of driving its still ****ing doing it.

any ideas?

The slides for the caliper bracket if you take the caliper off the bracket that holds the pads have slides the part the caliper bolts to are suppose to move mine did not.
