Meant to ask about this a while ago and didnt.

If i have my car in the air and spin the front tires i hear a rubbing. like the pads are rubbing the rotors. I guess this is pretty common. but know that i think about it if that things isnt tracking straight i geuss it could be the cuase of some vibrations and obvisously the cuase of the rotor being cracked to hell now.

I noticed this before the road course so its not due to that warping it. Its like just maybe a third of the rotor that you hear the rubbing as is spins around but it is on both sides up front if i remember correctly.

Have you checked the slides on the calipers? Are they still greased well? These are the two "beams" the moving part of the caliper rides on. I've seen a lot of vehicles that have worked the brakes hard and the lube is gone. Even if the boots are still good.

07, the pads always drag on the rotor, you are hearing a totally normal sound that resides in 100% of cars. If you spin the wheel and it binds not making a full rotation when you give it an honest spin, then you have a piston in the caliper hanging up.

+1 you're pads are always in direct contact with the rotors.

07, do you have a stock setup? are your pads wearing evenly?

Alright thanks. I thought so. its rubbing more at one point then others though becuase the noise is at a certain points like shh shh shh, you know. But the wheels spins pretty easy.

No its not stock its stop tech rotors and hawk hps pads. Dont know if they are wearing even i'll know in a couple of days though i need new rotors.

Could also be a warped rotor if it doesnt spin completely and grinds in one area and not another?

shhh shh shh says to me your rotors didnt wear evenly.

Yeah you will always hear the rotor dragging. If you hear it when driving, then it's a problem, or if it is ahrder to spin the tire. The reason it skips is because the rotor isn't perfectly true, but I wouldn't way it is warped or a problem, without actually measureing runout and thickness variation on the rotor, cars almosta lways will make the sshh shh sssh sound. If yoe rotor was untrue enough to matter, you'd feel a pedal vibration.

If the rotor is CRACKED, though, you must replace it, now.
