Ok, I swapped out my stock pads and rotors, and the right front is dragging bad. The left is fine, but you can't spin the right by hand when suspended. As I bled the right the brake pedal got progressivly stiffer. Could the piston be siezed? They worked fine before I took them off.

hey man, all you have to do is go to your local canadian tire and purchase the stuff called brake caliper synthetic lube, its maybe 10 bucks a bottle, and all you do is take out the 2 bolts holding the calipers to the brake assembly there and lube them up real good and put them back in, the reason your brakes are sticking is cuz those bolts are very dry and the calipers cannot move back and forth properly on them to get away from the brakes rubbing on the rotor, very easy fix to do.
