Hmmm, scheisse. It seems like there is quite a bit of resistance from the rubbing. I suppose I should just sign up for the Autocross event this week at our local track and wear off some of the brake pads then...

Really interesting to hear there is no way to make small adjustments to each pad though. Perhaps bicycles have the ability to adjust this since a rider can easily feel the resistance of a rubbing brake pad. With people so nuts about shaving 5 or 10 lbs off their car's weight, or adding 5-10hp in mods...you'd think people would be all over the resistance of rubbing disc brakes.
