Unhappy weird brake problem

I changed my brakes on my s2k a long time ago. Just got drilled/slotted OEM rotors. Cant remember what pads. Well they worked great for about 2k miles. Now if im on the highway and barely press down I can hear a grinding on the right front. But if I push down a little more they go away. If I am sitting at a light , I will pump my brakes and then if I barely push down right after that (when I get moving) it doesnt grind. I have bled my brakes 2 times and it still does it. Also when I first push down the brakes when Im about to pump them the petal goes down about an inch then I hear a click in the petal then it goes away. I was thinking something is wrong with the caliper. Any ideas?

possibility that your rotors are making noise as they scrape off the pads. Did you get your OEM rotors drilled and slotted or did u buy some oem drilled/slotted?

Quick question. what made you go with changing your rotors to drilled/slotted?

looked 10x better, and I heard they were better at cooling (warped oem) i bought them from a company, Just OEM size is what I meant. I dont think that caliper is closing all the way down on the RF tire.
