Rotors Loose
To make it short, after i loosen Front caliper and removed brake pads i noticed
both FRONT Rotors were loose, literally i can slide them out effortless.

Is it normal?

The rotors are sandwiched between when you bolt on the rims.

Also how did u install pads? U don't have to unbolt n e thing on the calipers just the pins on them need to come out. Rotors are basically floating untill u bolt up the rim, as someone previousely stated

the lugnuts will keep everything centered on. some cars use a small bolt to secure the rotor, thats really only for the assembly line to keep the rotors on the car during assembly though.

If a wheel falls off when you are driving you won't have to worry much about that rotor helping you stop.

our rotors are what they call floating rotors, they stay in place tnx to the brake pads, and they get secured against the hub with the tire

Most all cars are that way man except a certain few which are incapsulated with the bearing assembly as I call them and have to be pulled off. Late model Honda Accords for example
