    Help with Problem

    Hey guys-
    I drive a 2006 B7 S-Line, lowered with Stasis SS coilovers, running ECS Porsche Big Red brakes, behind 18" S-Lines w/ 8mm spacers.
    Since last week, I've noticed that there is a "grinding" coming from my right front when I brake. Any ideas?
    Also, I've noticed since yesterday, that, also when I brake, there is a clicking/rattling sound coming from left front suspension.
    And, when I stop driveing and turn off ignition, theres a clicking sound as the fan winds down
    Any help would be appreciated!

    One thing is that the brake pad might be rubbing. I would also check that the brake pad hasnt completely gone away ASAP.
    When life passes you by, downshift.

    very strange, clicking sound from brakes can mean its too low, not tight enough... Rotor could be damaged...On my old b5, one time my caliper was loose and I heard tons of grinding noise when braking and it caused my pads to have uneven wear and cause damage.

    I would suggest jacking up car and looking at pads, see how much life they have left, also check for any abnormal wear on rotors.

    The fan might be normal, I hear weird things sometimes when the fan turns off
