Since every vehicle I own now has brake drag, I opt for that.

My cobalt of all the weird things drags less if I high pressure power wash and wax the brake area thoroughly, no idea why this works, I am wondering if I am getting crud and rust off.

My insight I managed to reduce brake drag by installing brake friction reduction springs from napa, they don't fit quite right but have improved though not eliminated my irritating brake drag problems. (at least I don't need to drive to the floor to go 55mph in 3rd gear any time it rains and gets cold)

Cheers
Ryan
