My brakes are sticking after I put on a 5 lug conversion from a 2001 ITR. The 96 EK that I put the swap onto doesn't have ABS. I have put the propotioning valve off of a car with rear wheel disc brakes and the master cylinder and booster off of a 96+ Integra LS. I have changed the master cylinder, front calipers, and all the brakes lines to stainless lines but all the calipers are still holding preasure. They are not grabing very hard you can still drive the car but they are sticking enough to make the brakes hot and have a little wobble. Does anybody know what I can do to correct the problem?

what brake pads did you use??? is it possible they are too thick for your new setup?

The brakes being activated all the time could have something to do with the caliper slides. 9 times out of 10, this is the problem.

If you take off the 12mm bolts that hold on the caliper to the bracket, you will have access to the slides. They are the part with the boot. Make sure they slide freely. If they do not, the brakes will have a hard time releasing.

If this is a rear brake we're talking about, check to make sure that the E brake is not too adjusted. Make sure you're using the correct E brake cables. Make sure that the E-brake lever is not sticking. The lever is on the caliper. Check the slides also. Try twisting the caliper pistons back in on both sides all the way. Did you do this when you put in the new pads?

The caliper pistons (Front or Rear) may be sticking also. But this is rare.

They may not be grabbing very hard beause either the brakes are over heated by the time you go to press them....or you didn't bleed the system properly.
