Thats the only way I roll unfortunately and lately its much more of a curse than a gift.
I feel if I leave something out it will only get asked about later so I try to cover it all up front.

Yes. I believe its causing the car to drag-steer to the left and it even seems like its interfering with acceleration.

If you take a look at my revival thread (link in sig) I show detailed pics of how I rebuilt the MC with a kit from Mitsu. Its all done to spec. Entire MC is new except for of course the body which just is a body in good shape.
I feel myself struggling to get the car to stop and this is only after a 20 - 35mph ride literally around the block. There was actually an amazing wonderful (ha ha - yeah right) coincidence when I took it out for a drive for the 2nd time in years... an Armadillo was DEAD CENTER of the street and I was looking away for one second at someone I thought was driving suspiciously behind us..... my sister yelled STOPPP yer gonna hit that thing and so I experienced a panic brake and it was not at all near what it should be. If it weren't for the slow speed there is no doubt the brakes would've failed me into hitting that stupid animal.

There is nothing else to replace. The only thing stopping me from doing it is the refusal to believe its bad, but when you've replaced EVERYTHING else I have no earthly idea what it could be.
With brand new calipers are you supposed to pop the pistons out and lube the piston/bore walls with brake fluid? I didn't do this when I got them, but it seems like they'd self lube after the first few brake uses.
