ONE very important thing about disc brakes, make sure that you lubricate the caliper/pad pins(#14 in the above diagram) with silicone grease.the calipers are all of the "floating" design and the grease helps them to retract. once a brake job has been performed you should be able to move the caliper back and forth easy when installed. Also i use a file and remove any rough edges on the pads this also helps on keeping them from hanging up. Something to consider, back in the day drag racers would use only cars with front drum brakes and adjust them back so as to reduce front brake drag. That's how much effect front disc drag had on the difference between winning and losing. there will always some drag with disc brakes, but they are better now a days.
