Unhappy replaced rotors n pads & still have a brake noise

i just replaced my rotors n pads
i bought slotted n drilled rotors
i maybe have driven 100 miles on them and theres still a scratching/scrapping noise when i brake coming outta the front
ive heard before that when using slotted rotors you hear more noise
im wondering if this noise im hearing could be this or what
ive taken my rotors off and put them back on and doubled checked everything and nothing is incorrect
and the noise only happens when i brake
any ideas?
thanks

Have you checked the rear brakes yet....? You have to make absolutely sure its not the rear brakes doing it, to do that coast at a slow speed and lightly pull up on your handbrake, if you hear the noise its your rear brakes.

Well it common for a long break in period, if they are installed correctly you can always do the old school break in method........Basically drive up to 60mph and slam on the brakes as hard as you freaking can a couple of times and you should be good to go.

weak braking and noise is typical wiht new set up, some more thsn others.
I did the following:
3 runs 50mph brake hard to 15mph
then 3 more to 70mph brake to 15
