Aye guys. Sorry I never came back to tell you what was up with the thread. I got caught up with life. :D

The car had the crappiest pads the shop could put on. I got better NEW rotors and pads, and life went back to normal. Thanks for all the love.

The problem now, is that the car is getting about 100miles to the tank under the same everyday conditions it's been used for. Where do I start first????? In the morning I'm going to check the plugs. I'm hoping that they black and and dirty because it's been 3 years since they've been replaced. Anything else to check on this vehicle? Thanks again. to all that in advance.

I was gonna say... the calipers are either pressure on, or pressure off... they don't exaclty move or have any sort of contact...

your pads and rotors are the only surfaces that will be in contact with eachother... its gotta be one of those two.
