right i just fitted new discs and pads to my other halfs ka,
according to the car spares these are the right parts for the car, but if you jack the car up and spin the whees there is a deffinate resistance on the brakes, both sides.
could the meat on the pads be 2 much causing it to bind up??
it dosnt look like the discs are hitting the callipers but i just dont know where to look next
please help

when you spin the wheel there is more resistance that what there should be, ie hard to spin
when driving you can hear the pads against the disc n it rumbles when the pedel is pressed

no,but iv just worked out what was happening, the metal part of the break pad was rubbing on the hub part of the disc, just grinded it down a tad n seems to have cured the problem,
