I had to shim one of my calipers when I installed my 21". After that, no more drag! Check to see if your rotor is centered in your brake caliper!

Last night I found some time to get back to this. The left rotor runout was .010 and the right is .015. The manual calls for .008 max. I also marked the high and low spots on both rotors to make sure they were not inline with each other on both sides. That should rule out a wheel or axle problem, right?
