Got my cobra brakes etc on, pic + question!

[91LX_5L]

Sorry for the crappy quality pic.

Anyways I got them on, but when I spin my rim it makes a rubbing noise. Its the pad contacting the rotor, is this normal? I heard it was but that makes NO sence to me why it would rub, wouldnt you notice it on your car now or is it just because its brand new pads?

Thanks!!

Disc brake pads always rub a bit on the rotor. The caliper applies pressure when you press the brake pedal. When you release the pedal, you relieve the pressure, but there is no means to retract the caliper furthur than just relieving the pressure. The caliper continually moving out as the pads wear is how disc brakes are "self-adjusting".

I got them from stangsuspension for a good deal. Ill let u guys know how they hold up and what I think of them once i get on em, cars off the road for another month or so.

Now friday Ill tackle the rear baer 13" upgrade kit!

Ok thanks Matt, thats what I thought it just seems that they rub fairly good, the wheel will do like a good 3 rotations tho once i getter goin.

I hate to second guess but can anyone else confirm that it is normal for my pads to be rubbing on my rotors, I just dont wanna mess anything up.

Remember, we want our Mustangs to Brake Hard, otherwise, we might hit something and Break something.
