Noise from front calipers after pad/rotor install
 
Wanted to tackle a first time brake pad + rotor install by myself. Luckily it stops no problem. During the test drive, there was no noise.

However, when I park it, jack it up, and rotate the front wheel by hand, I can hear slight rubbing of the pad and rotors.

Any thoughts?

I just uploaded the video to youtube, I'll post in a few minutes.

That's perfectly normal. They should be dragging just a bit which will cause friction which in turn will cause the noise. No worries.

I also finished the bedding process and I noticed the front brakes are emitting a lot of heat and a slight burning smell.

Otherwise the install went pretty easy. I skipped bleeding the brake oil / stainless steel line install for later.

I think this setup will work for now, maybe later upgrade to a bbk.

Just to clarify, I have front DBA t3 4000 series rotors, hawk HP+ front pads and HPS rear pads.
