Default Front brake resistance

Just checked all my brakes as I'm sure I have one binding somewhere, the rear brakes had no resistance at all, the front brakes had what felt to me like quite a lot of resistance, they don't spin as freely as the rear wheels, so just wondering if they are supposed to have any resistance?

Thanks
Ben

Well there will be resistance there of some sort as they are the driving wheels, and are connected to driveshafts, and in turn the gearbox, but you should be able to tell if a brake is binding badly.

To me I could hear the brake disc as if the pad was touching it, but going to get my tracking checked tomorrow, if having that done doesn't solve it I'll look into it further, its just my car dives on the left side when you brake at low speed and I cant think whats wrong, the springs on the front look fine
