Default HELP!! Brake Trouble...Any Idea's??

I just changed my brake rotors in the front to brembo crossdrilled & slotted...im usin gmy stock calipers cause i thought they would work...im using PBR pads on them...and now when i stop i hear metal grinding like how it is when the brake pads are out..but the pads are all there...

Just wondering why its doing it....and its not helping my braking by it doing that...im thinking that the caliper is rubbing on the rotor..any ideas of how to stop it or do the stock calipers not work w/ the rotors??...

Also...the rear brake rotors and etc..how do i take them off....just those 2 bolts right??..those damn things are hard as hell to take off....thats why im waiting.....so lemme know if anyone has dealt w/ this or anything...aynthing would help...!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

make sure you have put the pads in right and not with the backing plate facing the rotors...

Use an impact screwdriver to take the rotors out. it turns when you hammer em.
