Powerstop brakes. Problem
i have powerstops on 3 of my cars. Carbon ceramic. To keep the dust down.
However, my c7 z-06 the pad is eating into my rotor. It looks like a corner of the pad broke off and jammed in between rotor and pad. I did take back apart and cleaned but now have a groove in pad and rotor.

most likely a rock got kicked up in there and either wore a groove in the rotor or chunked off a piece of the pad and that wore the groove. I had something like this happen in a daily driver chevy Malibu . It was making a noise and I noticed the groove in the rotor. Over time the groove will go away.
