Who have the same problem?

My front brakes doesnt release all the way and i feel that the car is stopping while im rolling. It is not major, but i still can feel the brakes slowing me down. It was even worse before i flushed the system and changed the front calipers, rotors and pads. The problem still exist, but not as bad as before, but still its hurting my gas milage. The brake pedal is really stiff. What could cause this problem? Please help.

Check that the slider pins that the caliper bolts to are not frozen in place.

Yeah, two of mine were rusted in place. This was two years after I did pads and rotors. This time around I replaced all the caliper slide bolts and dust covers.

Not sure, but I do know that if it did you need to grease them real good before using them.
