OEM pads? OEM rotors? We can't tell from here, so you need to tell us.

what do you mean by a roaring noise? Does the steering wheel wobble when you stop?

Slotted is okay. Drilled not so much.

I doubt the sound is caused by rotors though. Even terrible rotors with new pads will be quiet.

Were the pad edges properly greased? Did they leave out or misinstall any clips?

yes the steering wheel will wobble when I brake at a speed of maybe 40 mph and up..by a roaring noise I mean like when you need brakes because they are real low.and now its a squeaking noise also . the brake pads were put on about a month ago.

Hmm... Im not sure why the pads would make noise, all bets are off if you didnt use OEM brake pads though.
