just recently i got my ksport coilovers and have been noticing that the right rear brake is rubbing. dont know coilovers would cause that or if it just causes me to hear more road noise but i know for a fact it is rubbing b/c i was on a little bit of a slant and it wasnt rolling. anywho would i need to replace the calipers or lines. any help appreciated.

First you need to pinpoint if you hear a rubbing noise, (rubbing is usually a term we use when talking about a tire rubbing the fender, for example)a grinding noise, or both.

I'd inspect all brakes to see first, do all the wheels spin freely.If the right rear feels stuck, lets find out why? Is the ebrake cable stuck on? Could the cable be dislodged from the clasp and clamping the ebrake on, on that corner only? It's happened.Contaminated system?Pad out of place?the list goes on.Inspect closely and report!
