Default BRAKES LOCKING UP

I just swapped my drums out for the integra rear disc conversion and now after i drive my car for a few miles my brakes keep locking up on there own. How can I fix this? What could the problem be? 1 of my friends said to change the master brake cylinder, but I know of numerous people that did the conversion and didn't have to change anything. If it is the master brake cylinder which one should I use? A new stock 1 for my car or an integra one? Someone else said it could be the proportion valve but I thought those were all the same in 96-00 civic's. PLEASE HELP THANKS!!

did you tighten up the ebrake line to much? did you replace the caliper? or are they the stock ones?

none of the things you mentioned would cause the brakes to lock up ON THERE OWN (that means without you putting your foot on the brake pedal)
