Angry BAD brake sound...HELP

Sometimes when I am slowing down, my brakes start a horrible noise. Its loud and high pitched but not like brake squeal, its almost a honing (sp?) sound. Sounds bad though. Warped rotors or something else?

My fronts and rears are warped. I had the fronts turned once, but I am going to get new rotors.

yeah I think I am going to do new front rotors because I am pretty sure thats where the noise is coming from. If not ill go ahead and buy some rears too. Thanks for the help.

P.S. are your ghost flames more noticeable in person because they look very very subtle in the pics (good lookin car btw!). How much did those flames run ya?

Thanks, at night under a light they glow, and when the sun hits them you can see them. I have had flames before on my old 94 z and they were bright, so I wanted to go more subtle. I had the car painted torch red instead of ralley red since I was going to put ghost flames on it. It cost me roughly around 1500. I had a professional painter(buddy) do it. Far away you can't see them too good but close up they are awesome.Goodluck with the rotors.
