Sounds like your brake disc backing plates are rubbing mate, if you push the plate back away from the disc it usually stops it, but i'd do them 1 at a time and give it a quick test drive after bending them back a little, and if it still does it do another one, On our 2 IS200's it always seemed to be the rear passenger side that did it for some daft reason so i'd try that one 1st? they just need a bit of force on them and if you have the 5 spoke alloys fitted you can do it without taking the wheels off smile.gif
