Re: problems with my "new" brakes
Check the clearance of the calipers and the rotors....I found that my Strange 12 bolt backing plates positioned my calipers off center to my rotors causing the outside of the caliper to rub the rotor...I had to space off the calipers with washers to move the caliper outboard slightly (maybe a 1/32nd-1/16th of an inch) to center it over the rotor...I know you didn't replace the rear, but the aftermarket is not as exact as factory...Just something to look at...
