Drilled rotor behavior question

Drilled rotor behavior question
I just installed the Stillen drilled rotors all around. I used Axxis Metal Master pads on the front and Raybestos pads on the rear. I followed the break in procedure as defined by Stillen.
I now have a few 100 miles on them and I noticed that during braking I get a kind of rumbling noice and feeling through the brake pedal. It is not the kind of rumbling you get with warped rotors. I've never driven a car with drilled rotors and I was wondering if this is normal. Any answers?
Thanks in advance.

I've got x-drilled and slotted rotors, mine also makes a lite rumbling sound when coming to a stop. Did you install these yourself? I also hear a light clicking sound coming from the rear of both wheels. I installed my rotors myself and on the rear I didn't remove the emergency brake cable from rotor when installing. Would that have something to do with the clicking? If no one knows what this problem is do you think I could bring it back to the dealership for them to cover it under warranty? I wouldn't think they would cover it.

I had a groaining noise that was obnoxious. Took it to the dealer and they turned the rotors and suggested putting a set of softer pads on. The axxis pads were really chewed up. So I went back to Nissan's pads since I was there and everything has been fine for the last 10,000 miles.
