Stoptech problem. . .
I have talked to a couple people on AW and they seem to have the same problem I do with my stoptechs. When going very slowly (less than 10mph) I hear a rubbing sound. I know it is from the brakes, if I put my foot on the brake just enough to make the brakelights come on the sound stops. What is this sound/vibration? How many people have it? I know a few people on this forum currently have or have had this problem? Any ideas?

Hehe
After installing virtuallu BILLIONS (well, like, more than I can count on one hand (calipers) more than I can count on ten hands (pads), there's really nothing that could cause Simon's issue that could be solved be R&R'ing the calipers and pads. If anything, the pad abuttment plates need the be checked. That's really the only option.
Otherwise Stoptech needs to look into other options.

Fixed the problem.
My pads were getting stuck on the rotors b/c they were not ground down enough on the top and bottom edges of the pads (just on the passenger side though). So I ground them down a little more (very little) and slid them back in (they were still good and snug but definately fit better) and bam! no more rubbing or brake noise, thanks for all the help.
Except Mark. . . he can go to hell
