Anyone out there know the fix to this???

I agree with Raybestos guy. Its most likely not brake related, since i just serviced them.

Groaning noise is much worse when its cold.

Also, i watched other vids and judging from the noises of other failing component. It doesnt sound to be sway bar end links, sway bar bushing, bushings, LCA, tie rod ends, or steering rack, but those are just hunches

*Brake pads/rotors have been replaced, slider pins cleaned and lubed, and moly grease apllied as per the service manual instructions.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

100% completely normal brake sounds. You could try different pads and rotor combinations until you find something that doesn't resonate. Oddly it's the garbage cheapo organic pads that don't make this sound. Probably just not enough friction.

Just about every automatic Honda I have owned will make this sound when just lightly on the brake with the torque converter pushing on the car.

I was parallel parking the other night and some people walking by literally jumped when the groooooan sound startled them. Would have been funny if I wasnt embarassed. Hard to believe this is normal operative noise!
