Jonathan -

Dad and I experienced this same exact problem on the Cavalier he bought last year except that his would lock up and not release. We ended up completely disassembling the calipers, cleaning them and replacing the o-rings. We also did everything we could to make sure they were aligned properly with spacers and such. He ended up buying brand new calipers, pads and master cylinder and it corrected the problem. Some design change had been made since the calipers he had on the car. The new ones are black now and his were a chrome color.

I replaced my brakes 2 winters ago and went with Mark Williams. I would never put another brake on my car other than Mark Williams or Lamb. The quality of their products in unbelieveable when compared to the other brands out there. You can really tell it when comparing the other brands to theirs side by side.

If you have any questions, please give my dad Mike a call at 800-268-5915. We fought those brakes for weeks before finally fixing them. He would be more than happy to anwer any of your questions.
