Has anyone had an issue with reman ATE calipers not retracting enough and lightly dragging on the rotor? The pedal is also a longer than I'm comfortable with. The ABS system isn't active so I wonder if it has something to do with that? I'm using a known good E32 master cylinder and known good booster.

how are the hoses and hard lines ? a crimped hard line or a collapsed hose can trap brake fluid creating pressure causing the brakes to drag.Originally posted by 1point8litre View Post -
I'll double check. The hoses are new, but the front lines are original. Maybe something is clogging it. I'm going to bypass the abs unit with a jumper line to see if that may be effecting it too.Originally posted by 82eye View PostComment

have you inspected the brakes calipers and possibly considered rebuilding them? I learned recently that the caliper piston seal is one of the major factors in pulling the piston back.Comment

You're talking about a lot of potentially unrelated issues here.
Dragging on rotor -- might need to be rebuilt
Pedal longer -- you are running an MC not sized for your calipers. It is not the upgrade that the forums make it seem. Could be related, could just be tapered brake pads.
ABS not active -- this is not related to either of the two above issuesComment
