KVR Performance Brakes problem

Hi all,
I just installed new KVR Performance rotors and new OEM brake pads on all four corners on my 03 Cobra. They look great, but there's a problem.

The car feels fine when braking, but while braking there is a knocking/banging sound coming from the front end when braking normally. The faster the car is moving, the louder and faster the knocking/banging gets when braking. I rechecked everything and I can't see any visual signs of where the noise is coming from.

Any help here will be appreciated. Thank you.

UPDATE

I found out that at least one of the BRAND NEW rotors is no good. I swapped out the KVR front rotors for the OEM ones and the banging is gone. I will be calling KVR tomorrow to get new ones.

I was going to say you may have a warped rotor. Glad that you know what it is.
