The first question is how much drag do you get? There will be a bit of drag on them.

Do you have the springs installed over the pads? They help prevent unnecessary dragging.

In a properly designed brake system one inch of pedal movement only provides about .004" of pad movement. If the pads are too far away from the rotors you will end up with a soft or spongy pedal.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
