Gents,
Recently replaced pads on all 4 corners (put slotted/drilled rotors on) and i've noticed that when driving it, the very first time I brake (moving forward), the front brakes make a "clacking" sound as if they're "seating" themselves against the rotor or something. After that, no noise and the brakes always function beautifully.

I've never had slotted/drilled rotors so I don't know if it is contributable to that at all, but it doesn't sound "normal".

This happens no matter how slowly forward I am moving.. Even just rolling forward (no gas), if I barely hit the brake pedal, I hear them "seat". What should I check?
