i have an 03 zx3 112k miles on it done a lot of work to this car, I live in Michigan so I get severe weather explains a lot, but, just recently I put new pads and rotors on and a sway bar link on drivers side all is well month before that had bearings tie rods ball joints tires strut and coils all on it few days after the brakes car is now making a low rub noise the increases with speed even when coasting out of the drivers front tap breaks goes away then comes right back im assuming I did something wrong with the brakes? any ideas?

mine did that a month ago, it was the clip holding the brake pad on. it was pushing the whole caliper down causing it to feel loose causing vibration. I bent the clip back over the brace and was back to normal.
hope this helps.

Yea^^^^^ Remove the wheel & make sure you don't bend the clip. I hate those dang clips. I don't have to deal w/ then anymore.
