i've changed the booster, mbc, rear calipers, pads, and rotors. if i get on the brakes hard they'll sometimes stay on hard enough for u not to be able to push the car in neutral. what the hell is causing this? i'm going to get some lines from spl. hopefully that'll fix it. thanks in advance.

check the brake pins. they probably need greasing. this happens after a few times on the pedal or is it always dragging?

did you replace the hole caliper assembly or just the part with the piston, because usually what cause that problem is the sliders.Another thing you can do is check all your e brake cables and brakets maybe some thing its getting stuck there or your ebrake is overadjusted.

the ebrake is actually pretty loose. but i'll have the mechanic check it out. i believe i changed the whole thing. i got rebuilds from autozone. so whatever they come with is what i put in.
