SSBC disk brake conversion brake drag

Well the brake pads always drag somewhat, but it shouldn't be excessive. If the wheel is hard to turn, it's too much. You could possibly have a stuck caliper or master cylinder.

If Mustangs Plus installed it for you I would swing by and have them check it out. I'm sure they could measure the disc temprature to see if it's excessive.

Yeah, I went ahead and stopped by MP. Forgot how dead these boards are. They said the same thing about how they're supposed to rub a bit, but also that they had a ton of complaints about the SSBC disk conversion kit.

They readjusted them and now they're fine. Just sucked that I was without the car for a day when I'm playing chauffer after my gf destroyed my Taurus' transmission...
