Brake question...was checking my rotors to see if they might be warped, found that my front

brakes are rubbing right up against the rotors, causing scrapping noises. How do I fix this? What kind of damage can occur if this goes infixed for a prolong period of time? (I'm hoping the dealer can take me tomorrow).

More details are needed. What do you mean by "rubbing up right against the rotors" What is rubbing?

This happened to me when I installed my Stop-tech's.
