Re: i need brakes help
i know you have said you have tried several calipers but are those completes with the brakets and everything? if your using the stock caliper brackets and have a slider siezed up it could cause this.. just a thought.. if you have replaced complete bracket/caliper then nevermind

Re: i need brakes help
ok; update. sorry, i've been working 12s, anyways...
it only seems to drag or lockup if there is vacuum on the booster, when you turn off the car you can usually spin it with little drag or even freely
this is not making any sense to me

Re: i need brakes help
did you put on brand new brake lines or used ??
just checking..some people are cheap asses...
i would return the brake line and get another one and try that...its giving all the symptoms of a collapsed brake line...

Re: i need brakes help
i would definately change brake hoses...
if nothing else..reverse the hoses...put the drivers on pass side...if the problem moves sides then you know what it is...
