S80-T6 brakes dragging S80 1999

Probably dirty caliper pins that need new brake grease. As the friction heats up the rotor, the metal expands and will start to drag and make things worse.

When I clean the slide pins, I wind up using a wire brush to get all of the black dirt off. Then I use a small amount of silicone brake grease and reinsert the slide.
