I will be driving down the road and my rear calipers make a draging/click noise. I can hear it best when im in 4th gear around 35. If i press on the brakes it stops.

Any suggestions??

How do you know its the calipers? Does the car pull to one side?

be careful it may be your bracket bolts that cold the caliper onto the diff it happened to me once ON THE FREEWAY super scary double check its not that . you should be able to jiggle the caliper to see if thats the case if not check you caliper pins

I wiggled the calipers and they didn't budge. They dont make the noise when I spin the tires when its on jack stands.

I dont know for sure that it is the calipers but the noise stops when I press the brakes. It pulls to the right but it needs an alignment and new tires.

It's the same problem I have, the anti-rattle clips in the calipers aren't doing their job, and they're letting the calipers rattle...I recently replaced my pads and they didn't come with new clips, and I can't figure out where to buy the stupid things...worst part is they're probably only going to cost like...$1 each if I can ever manage to find where to buy them.

Is the noise clicking exactly with every rotation of the tire? (If so, I wouldn't think its the brakes unless a warped rotor is involved.)

Have you checked to make sure you don't have any rocks stuck in the tread?

No I don't think its every rotation. You can hear it click at every speed.

There isn't a rock in my tire. Its much louder than that. Plus there isn't enough tread on my tires to have a rock in them, lol.

I will look into these anti rattle clips. Do you have a pic?

My borthers firebird did it too. It was the emergency brake. I took the rotor off and adjusted the e-brake off a little bit and it fixed it.
