Brake Question

My car (2001 SE V6) has been making a terrible grinding sound whenever I apply the brakes, so I ordered new pads and rotors to install myself. I got them today so I went down to the garage and jacked up the car, put it on stands and took the front wheels off to start replacing the front pads and rotors tomorrow. The rotors have a considerable ammount of wear compared to the outer edge; probably about 1/8" worn down. The current pads also still have a little more than 1/8" left on them, and the chirpers were nowhere near the rotors. I was wondering what was making the grinding sounds seeing as there is still a little bit of pad left. Any ideas or tips for tomorrow?
Thanks in advance,
-Brett
