Jon, you may PM or call Dean and Dennis Oliver. They had the exact same trouble and fought it for weeks.

My Drag Pak came with Mark Williams brake/rotors mounted on stock hubs. We had a consistent front brake wobble on shutdown and braking. We measured everything, and couldn't figure it. When I finally decided it was becoming a safety issue, we got Strange Hubs, brakes and Rotors.

The first thing we noticed is that they dragged..We called, and talked to Strange, and they said, the pads are not broken in. We went through the suggested break in procedure. And they still dragged. We checked fluid levels, bled lines, checked everything. And after a couple of more races, apparently they seated, or something ?else? happened, and now they no longer drag.

I guess my point is that it was a mystery, and remains one. But since it isn't a problem right now. We will just take it, and be happy.
