'81 242 DL, bought in 1986, Currently 311kmiles.

Had the front jacked up and I noticed the brakes are dragging a bit. Just had some work done and I'm wondering if the shop might have put in pads for solid rotors. Mine are vented, maybe rotors are thicker and require thinner pads.

Had entire brake system replaced from master cylinder to parking brakes. Didn't have any problems but everything was over 20 years old, hoses were probably original.
