no just bring it down some, or you could file it, this is the easy approach
unless you want to drop a couple hundred on parts and upgrade thats cool too

Wouldn't that reduce the amount of pad on the rotor? I mean, if one edge is
on the lip and the other
is still on the main part, doesn't that introduce a gap right before the
lip? I'd be kinda worried
about doing that to my car, personally...

no just re-adjust the brake pads and it will wear down the lip

Thanks for all the input.  Once I checked it did turn out tobe my brake
fluid being on the edge of minimum.
Once I filled it up the problem went away.   I don't know why I did not
think about the gas cap not being
on tight but that was it.
Since everyone was so good with the brakes I have another question for
you.  Someone I work with told me
I am going to need new roters soon because ther is a lip on the edge of my
roters.  Is this true?
