Ok, I've been pretty busy lately but I'm still having this problem.
The one thing I noticed is that it gets worse with time and/or heat. For instance, with a cold car, it takes a couple stop signs for the grinding to occur and it gets worse to a point as time goes on.
I did check out the backing plate and bent it away from the rotor. The grinding didn't change.

Mike try a new set of Pads and rotors.... Do your rotors still have that nasty wear path from the pads?
If you do get new rotors and a set of Bendix Titanium pads...
Maybe a set of rotors and Ceramic pads?
I believe after seeing the pics in another post that your pads are too hard or hard spotted... I have had this issue with both of my cars and both times it had to do with my Autozone pads.. Been using the Bendix pads for a long time now with no issues except rotor warp...
The Bendix rotors and Titanimum Pads have given me about 9 or 10 months now with smooth stops...

Mike, Advanced Auto Parts sells them all...
The Pads were like $40 and the Rotors were $26 each iirc...
On my 95 I had that exact problem on the passenger front side, got into a little Had To Stop Fast because of some idiot and the car grabbed and pulled hard right freaking out the ABS and the Driver... I fixed the brakes that day...
Thats the cheapest place I can think of.. I like the Titanimums soo much( except for the brake dust ) that I have them on both the 95 SE and 91 LE... The 91 SSE will get them once I finally get around to it...lol
