Just bought a 2000 Olds Bravada with 118k miles on it. The brakes were shot so I pulled the trigger and bought R1 concepts slotted/drilled rotors and posi-quiet ceramic pads. Installed everything and drove it. The brakes were dragging though, so I decided to put on 4 new calipers next, ran into some bleeding issues and ended up popping a seal on the master cylinder. I replaced that and then I still had issues. Threw in the towel and took it to a local shop to take care of it. I ran out of time and patience for it. They found that the rear calipers were installed wrong (exhausted, dumbass me!) and that the front brake lines were collapsing. Now, after all that is said and done.... the brakes are still dragging! WTF.... what else is left in the system? The only brake not dragging now is the drivers rear. The others are all still pretty bad. I cant accelerate worth a damn in it and as soon as I let off the gas the speed decreases immediately. I also found that it won't reverse without pedal effort and it will not move forward on it's own without giving it gas.
So... what could it be... what else is left to replace? Please some one help!!
cliff notes... replaced all major brake components and brakes are still dragging... wtf?
