The brakes self-adjust constantly while you're using the brakes, that's how they remain correctly-situated as the pad wears down. That also means burning them down a bit at an auto-x

 As the pads wear, the resting state of the pistons in the calipers when you're not braking will slowly adjust inwards to make up the distance. This also results in a small drop in brake fluid level over time as the pads wear. It may feel like a lot of drag to you spinning the wheel with your hands, but it's absolutely nothing to the car (assuming everything is normal with your brakes, which I suspect is the case). |
