How do I adjust the Akebono sport calipers so the pads don't rub the rotors (when the brakes aren't being applied)? Anyone have some tips? My mountain bike is easy enough to adjust...I'm hoping the car is similar. Maybe my gas mileage will improve.
There is no way to adjust this...and actually it's not that unusual.. The pads will retract slightly but there may always be slight contact..
