69 El Camino, AFX spindles w/C5 calipers and abutments.

The rotors spin with some drag. If I put feeler gauges on it, the outboard pad is against the rotor and the inner pad has ~.015 clearance.

Do I need to shim out ~.0075 or is this a self-correcting issue?

Should be no need with floating calipers.
