Ok, I put new rotors and pads on my s13 all the way around the car. Had some hang ups trying to get the pads to fit back over the new rotors but nothing serious. Well I went to take the car for a spin since i was unable to the day i did the brakes. THE FRONT BRAKES RUB LIKE WHOA! So i pull back in thinking maybe when I put the wheels back on i shifted the rotor and it was uneven. Took wheels back off the front to check it out and nothing i can do makes the rub any better. When driving it skips almost that rotor warp but they are brand new so i know thats not the case. Thought maybe needed to ride them in went around the block a couple times and did harder then normal stopping with no results. RF rotor got REALLY hot tho so i parked and now i'm looking for some help. Guide me, and shame on me for FUBARing this one........

What kind of rotors did you get? Did you lube the slide pins? Did you screw the pistons in the rear in before changing pads?
