That would be my bet. Much more likely than warped rotors (it's hard to do on good brake systems). The symptoms are the same..

Try rebedding......That seems to work. This always scrubbed my old Wilwoods clean, especially if done in the wet..

Update:

Maybe this is totally unrelated, but I noticed over thanksgiving that when I turn the wheel all the way left or right (till it locks) and start turning, I get a grinding sound outta what seems to be the front of the car. It's not a squeaking sound but feels metal on metal. I'm clueless if its brake related, suspension or the tire rubbing something. I'll have to wait till this weekend to go diagnose and recreate it. Anyone experienced anything like this?
