    Varga Rear Calipers: Clutches inside

    My Varga rear calipers seem to add a lot of friction to the rear wheels. I have the car up on Jackstands and the wheels turn, but there is def. some added friction there. Roughly 2-3 times harder to turn than the front wheels. Feel really stiff.

    As I understand it, this is beacuse of the ratcheting clutch mechanism that only allows the piston to move outwards. The calipers have 800 miles on them. Can I expect this to get better or should I try doing something?

    I have the E-brake loosened to the point that it will barely hold the car on a sloped driveway.

    Normal or too tight?

    can you manually turn them in?? Maybe to small hoels in the face of the piston??
