STICKY CALIPERS
My brother has a 2001 Mustang GT and from new the front calipers put pressure on the discs so you could hardly spin the tire while jacked up.My other brother put them on his '94 Cobra Pro Street car,same thing so he got new calipers,they still drag.What causes this? and whats the cheapest way to fix it?

Sometimes the pistons on calipers freeze which is probably what is happening in your case. The options are to rebuild the caliper and replace the psitons or get new caliper.
You could try finding a junked mustang and getting those calipers. That is probably your cheapest bet.

99 till about 03 have a horrible tendency for the soft line to collapse and lock up the calipers. Change the rubber pressure hose and I will "gar-un-tee" it will fix the problems
It even happened to my 03.

what he said. Always check the lines before you slam calipers on it, and even when you replace calipers its always good to replace the lines as well. I've been burned before on a collapsed line I thought was a caliper problem
