Binding brakes?

After jacking the car up today, I tried turning the wheels and they didnt seem to be very free. They aren't completly stuck, just not running as free as they should.

I have a 2003 STI with the brembo calipers, could some one help please?

They won`t spin freely anyway cause of the limited slip diffs and awd.

You need all 4 off the ground and even at that there will still be a bit of friction, but you should be able to tell if its brakes sticking....

OK thanks for that. How would you be able to tell if the brakes are binding then?
