I just put on brand new front pads and rotors, the pads are stop tech ceramic and I also did the rears with the same brand. When you drive it rubs like a metal on metal sound. I checked and checked, nothing is touching. I was thinking maybe its just the pads, or I don't think so but guess its possible, maybe a caliper seized? Any ideas?

Did you apply anti-squeal lube to the back and the side of the pads? Is the sound coming when you apply the brakes or just regular driving? Check the dust shield make sure it didn't get bent or damaged during the process.

Did you bed the brakes in before normal driving? As far as I know, with most pads, you should always bed them in before any normal driving occurs. Did the pads come with instructions for bedding?

Here's an article on bedding I found on a quick search..
