nope....that's what i'm hoping the problem is. I'm going to take everything apart and lube everything well tonite. other than that...the only thing I can imagine being wrong is the brake line...

Post up your location dude. If you live south of the rust belt, you have other issues...

Return the pads/rotors, citing excessive dusting, noise, and poor performance. Any store will warranty that. Suggest you got a bad one, and would like to try that brand/grade again (or jump up a grade) If you say that they were sticking, the could void the warrenty on you (seen it happen)

Your problem is no falt of theese parts, you've got other issues. Cleaning the slides should help... If they were incorrectly assembled (by you), that's another way. They're not the easiest ones I've ever done (GM has it DOWN), and you might not have gotten it right.
Take the brackets off, clean up the slides with a wire wheel, and lube them up with brake grease... I also use that red CRC gorrilla snot on the back of the pads...

Good luck
