Grinding noise from new brembo rotors

I just installed new brembo rotors all around and ceramic brakes in the front on my FD. The tire does not roll freely when I jack up the tire, and when I turn a corner it maks a little grinding noise. What could be the problem?

Yup, you swapped the two bolts that hold the front caliper on. Very common problem -- many of us have done that before. Swap the bolts back as soon as you can (don't drive it if you can avoid it) so you don't wear a groove into the inside face of the rotor.

Yep you guys were right. I took the wheel off and what do I see? The bottom bolt grinding on the inside of the rotor. I switched the bolts and it did the trick. Can you beleive the guy that installed the rotors worked for mazda?
