My Z24 does this, they worked fine until I lightly hit a curb one night, like turned the corner and the ice got it and the car hit the curb, boht drivers side wheels, was barely a tap but ever since then unti li drive a few blocks my back brakes lock right up at the light touch of the pedal....any ideas?

Well why not try having them cleaned up and re-adjusted for starters, maybe you`ll get lucky and solve you problem

I'd check the springs as well, maybe a return spring popped off and now they aren't releasing as intended
