Why do rotors rattle when front brakes and rotors were just replaced?

brake pads, like any two surfaces which rub against each other, must ' seat' as it is called and then the pads will have 'adapted' to the irregularities of the vehicle's rotor surface. And,,, it could be that the more expensive rotor needs to be replaced as well - ouch$$$. This seating should take place on average, during the first week of driving. If not, check your bank balance and then humbly go back to the installer.
Pads are much cheaper and should be checked often to prevent rotor damage. It also DOES NOT PAY to have cheap pads installed. We are busy people and don't have time to keep checking things like this, just to save a few bucks on brake pads. 'yeah, I just saved ten bucks on brake pads'
