found a way to unstick my front calipers

go on the freeway and if there's no cars behind you, warm up the brakes by doing some small slow downs then brake hard from 75 or 85 down to about 45. just once or twice.

my front LS1 calipers were bought off ebay and tho i cleaned/greased the sliders w/ ceramic grease it still dragged bad. wheel would turn less half a turn when in the air and it felt like my brakes were dragging when coming to a stop.

i think there was build up or debris around the pistons that burned up or got moved. feels like new calipers now.

but DONT get carried away w/ this or you might glaze your pads or warp your rotors
