hi guys, my v2 subaru seems to be running stiff, like its jammed up, when rolling down a hill it seems to be stiff like im pressing the brake, what could this be ?

i changed the front 2 calipers and im still having the same problem.

Does it have dccd. Are the handbrake shoes sticking on the handbrake. Is the piston on the back brakes free enough or are they seized, I'd be checking these things first.
How long have you owned the car for..

hi, no it doesnt have a dccd, handbrake lever is high, iv not open any, i bought the cars 3days ago, i took it garage this morning and he checked it on the ramp and told me its the front 2 calipers, so i bought some from a local breaker, but car still seem the same, it seems like rear are jammed up. how do i check if piston jamed etc, if they are can i release them,.

Could be. Just remove the back wheels and it will be quite self explanatery how to remove caliper slider and then just get a pry bar in and ease the piston back, if it moves ok its not seized, but remember they are quite hard to push back.
