Front Brake Dragging! UPDATE!!!!!
I had this happen on one side of the caliper bracket on my RS driver side. I heated the pin/bracket and eventually got the pin out -- then just smoothed out the hole with a drill bit -- new pins and high-temp grease and "good as new". You don't need to replace the bracket.

I dont think that is the case, seal problems in the master cylinder usually either cause a leak behind it, or fluid bypassing the piston altogether giving a weak pedal and poor brake force.
Odds are calipers, they are subjected to much more badness than the mc. Even a good caliper will drag a little, a bad one will be hot as hell though while a good one won't. I just replaced a caliper on one of mine this weekend, both looked the same, bad one would burn the **** out of you compared to the good one. Good luck.
UPDATE!! I hope someone else finds this thread useful in the future lol. Anyways, so I have now replaced pads, rotors, caliper brackets, brake hardware, and now the front calipers. Bled the brakes again. Turn on car and press brake pedal, pistons squeeze even harder than old calipers, but still are yet to release even a smidgen from the rotors. I cannot even turn them in the least bit now. I have my master cylinder arriving also hopefully this week. Could it be anything else? The booster seems to be working properly, the only other possibility I can think of is the push rod is adjusted to far, which would mean constant pressure on the master cylinder. Or would the ABS box have anything to do with it?
And also if the pushrod needs adjusted, where and how would that be accomplished?
Thanks again

release the emergency brake and check to make sure the actual linkage, foot pedal etc. is all free and not hanging up. The only other thing I can think of is the Vacuum Booster.
