Grinding noise from new rear disc brakes 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix?

I recently replaced my rear brakes, even though it wasn't absolutely necessary, and changed my rear struts. If I apply the brakes at highway speed there is a loud grinding noise and you can feel it too. What is wrong? The car has 85,000 miles and I did not see any rotor damage when I replace the brakes.

You never change pads without changing rotors! Throw a new set or rotors on the car and you'll be good to go.

wel grinding would be rotors bad but could be job wasnt right so first re check your work something is not right grinding either bad pads or out of line some way grinding leaves marks cant miss it
could be rust that the new brake pads are rubbing on.
