You need to check your read brake calipers first.
The pistons need to be at 20 degrees...
Look at this 356 brake article.

Look at the 8th picture down.
You need to make one of these tools.
In the picture shown with the tool; draw and arrow pointing down and that will indicate rotation direction of the rotor.
Pull your pads and check this first.
Read the article to find out why.
Pistons should also move in and out freely and dust boots should be intact.
If not, it's time for caliper overhaul.


Very nice, Steve. Thanks a bunch.
