Default Yet another oem brembo question, please help again

ok so today i was driving my car from the bodyshop to the alignment shop(no bumper on) since it was the best time to do it because i didn't want to scrape my bumper on the jack. Sometimes when i was driving, or starting to brake, i hear rotors turning. Does that make sense? It's like the rotors rotating but is a big loud inside the cabin with the windows up. I didn't have this before i put on the brembos. Anyone have ideas?

i'm not sure. I bought a used sit. It was rusted(like any other rotor that just sits there without use), most of it is coming off, still a bit on there. The pads look good, the rotors looks ok as well. Might need to get turned. When i feel the rotor, it feels smoother than my previous setup even though that doesn't make noise.

it's the rust. Take your rims off and spray some brake cleaner on there. Should loosen it up

nah, i wouldn't do that. Did you trim or remove your rear dust shields to get the bigger rotors on the rear?
