95 Civic - groaning/rubbing noise when braking at low speeds

Hi all, new to the forum, just purchased a stock 95 Civic LX with 108,000 original kilometres for my daughter. The car is mint except for a groaning/rubbing noise only when the brakes are applied at low speeds. It is coming from the front and can feel the noise through the brake pedal and floor but the brakes function properly.

When coming to a stop the brakes start to make a groaning sound. It usually only occurs when slowing down from 30kph or less and makes the noise all the way until the car stops. The sound occurs every one revolution of the wheel. It will make the groaning noise, then stop, then make the noise again when that same part of the wheel passes.

I confirmed that the wheels and tires are not rubbing anything and the brake pads and rotors are not worn out yet. The only other detail I can provide is the CV axles have been replaced with newer axles from the 96-00 Civics, however, I don't believe this to be the problem.

Any and all help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

how old are the pads/rotors? when were they last changed?
is it coming from one side of the front only?

what do you mean by feel it through the pedal? is there a vibration when you brake?
