Also, the original hole where it mounts to the brake pedal rod itself, drill a hole 1" down from the original mounting point. This will not only give you a better pedal feel, but a more linear lateral "push" stroke as the pedal moves through its range of motion.. then likewise a full pull "off" when you let your foot off the brakes.

To me, it sounds like residual line pressure. In short the calipers aren't fully releasing allowing enough space between the pads and rotors when it's just rolling. The brakes are being slightly pushed at all times if that makes sense.

Ask me how I know.. Lol. I'm fighting this same issue.
You say fighting, did doing all the things you mentioned not clear up the issue? Thanks for posting up.
