Did I do my brakes correctly
 
I'm trying to nail down whether I performed satisfactory work on my brakes this weekend. I kind of need to get a better feeling on this by tomorrow, as I will be doing some serious mountain driving tomorrow. My other post has a title that doesn't quite fit this line of questioning, so I'm posting a new thread. I hope that's OK. I went out just now and jacked her up, took her out of gear, and spun her wheels. They only spun about 3/4 turn after letting the wheels go. This is for a front wheel drive car and they are the front wheel brakes that this concerns. With the gears and everyting involved, does that seem like a short rotation time or about normal? I am trying to make sure that the brakes aren't rubbing unneccesarily and won't get hung up. Thanks again,

Andy

Sounds okay to me. Disc brakes should barely be touching the rotor when installed correctly. As long as your pedal travel isn't too stiff, you should be fine.
