944t rear brakes sticking

After doing the 944t conversion I'm having a bit of an issue......

I went for a quick spin the other night (still sorting the FI) and when I got home I noticed as I costed into the garage that the car wouldn't "roll" very well.

I tracked it down to the rear brakes....seems they had been dragging so badly that the rotor was starting to turn a "gold" color from the heat...and the rim was even hot to the touch....

So......do I pull off the calipers and rebuild 'em ?

I got these calipers off eBay..they bled out just fine but I'm worried that there may be some rust or gunk inside keeping the caliper pistons from retracting.

With the car on jackstands - if I press the brake pedal the rears stay pretty tight....I can move 'em - a bit - then after a while they seem to loosen up.

-OR- is it a master cylinder problem.....I'm using a late Ghia m/c....my pedal pressure has been fine up to this point - with no locking up etc...

Thanks !

Dan
