Default Front Rotors

Okay, I changed my rotors on my C6 to slotted/drilled rotors and ceramic brake pads. After installation, I noticed when I turned the rotors, you hear a rubbing sound and this is on both sides. Is this normal?

no worries, the new pads will make light contact with the rotors.

I know nothing about ceramic brake pads but you probably need to bed them in. Here's a link that may help:
