Question for after Brake install
I just installed new cross drilled rotors and pads. Not a very fun job. My question is how to brake these in? When I drove the car forward for the first time I could hear the brake pad rubbing the rotor. I noticed this before I even put the wheel back on. But it is light enough presure that you could spin it with your pinky finger. Is this a bad thing? Will it even out in time? I just want to make sure I did the install the right way.
I tried to do a search but couldn't find too much. Thanks to anybody that responds.

Stoptech has a number of great braking white papers....
REad the ones on this page...

Until the leading edge of the pads wears a bit and the angle changes, you will hear a clicking sound...
