Default Clicking Sound From Rotors

I installed aftermarket Drilled and Dimpled front rotors on my DA, and when i drive i hear a clicking noise (kinda like a bike or wheel of fortune thing). The fast i go, the faster the clicking gets. When i brake, the clicking gets louder. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? thanks.

its your brake guard or whatever. feel behind the rotor and that metal piece will bend. you prolly bent it accidently putting the rotors on like i did. lemme know if it helps!

This might be a stupid question, but did you put new brake pads on too?

And did you properly bed them to the new rotors?

Obviously the pads were used, but the rotor was as well? All the more reason to bed them correctly.

Used rotors have a layer of the last pad on the surface. You bed the new pad to burn off the old layer and apply a nice even new layer of the pad you intend to run.

Old pad and new rotor, you need to bed for that first initial layer of pad on the rotor.
