EBC rotors and greenpad

Guys,

I just installed EBC slotted/dimple rotors, along with greenpads. They work great, however, the driver side brakes a clicking sound, like a piece of paper stock in a fan on every revolution. Is this normal? Have any of you experienced this clicking noise in the beginning? When I brake the sound goes away. Thanks for input.

Wait, the clicking noise STOPS when you are braking?

If that is the case you either installed something wrong or you have a bad part.

yes, the clicking sound stops when the brakes are depressed. I think I'll have to re-assemble the brakes again.

These slotted rotors are noisy. I properly bedded the pads tonight. Time will tell. Hopefully mine last longer than 6months.
