Default Car dont roll on slight hills

My car used to roll on hills and come to a smooth stop but now it dont. I mean just befor you stop you can take you foot off the brake and it stops its self, or on a slight hill it will hold its self, i thought it was due to the brakes sticking, so I have changed the brakes all round including shoes about a month ago, i thought this was the prob and i did a refurb on the front cals (not Pistons) just seals and gave them a good clean and fresh paint. But this did not solve the problem. Did it before new brakes and after, any ideas on what this could be. I can't hear any noises or rubing of any kind coming from the car. 1 other thing is it only does it when hot say like after 10mins of driving.

Ive had to change my osr caliper before because of this on two occasions. my mate has also changed the same caliper on his wrx.

Take your car out for a short spin, then stick your hand in front of each wheel to feel if there's any hotter than the other. be carefull not to actually touch the wheels as if there is a binding brake it will be very hot

Mine did the same mate, did the same as you and ended up doing it twice, the second time full strip down regrease/refurb and they have been sound since, the 'older' MYs are prone to the calipers/pistons sticking but not sure how old 'older' is if that makes sense
