Front Brakes

I was checking the brakes on my 97 XJ and noticed that the front pads lightly drag on the rotors at all times. It's not that bad, but it's still a drag. Is this normal? My brakes work great, except when they get wet and like to lock up, which I hear is a problem for all XJs.

Normal, there are no return springs in disk brakes.
 
Mine are like that too and my front brakes were just done...I'd say it's pretty normal (unless my guy messed up). It's not like a bicycle brake set up by any means (same mechanical idea tho).

Cheers,
