StopTech Rotors rubbing

Did you follow my installation procedure? It almost sounds like your rotor isn't perfectly flat against the hub.

they are floating if im not mistaken, meaning they are tighened by the wheel nuts. i assume if his wheel is on, the rotor is on ok.

Besides that, if they weren't on correctly, there'd be a lot of feedback through the steering wheel.

Not necessarily. Yes, they are floating but caliper is not floating (in the sport package). So you could have slight rotor run-out from rust on the hub and not necessarily feel it under braking as much as you would with a floating caliper.

Exactly my thoughts..

This can be true as well, but it is unlikely. You would have wheel vibration as well.
