did my brakes, have ebay brand drill/slot/zinc rotors and rotex kevlar semi-metallic pads.
You want to hear groan, use your brakes for the first time on a zinc plated rotor.
Mine groan a little now even after all the zinc is off the wear path, pretty sure it's just the slots of the rotor making noise. I would say it's normal, as long as no noise is present when you're not using the brakes, and the brakes are smooth and strong. Brakes should be noisy considering their function actually, and the higher performance brake setups typically make more noise.
