make sure there is some freeplay on the pedal.
Try cracking the bleeder open when the brakes are draging , if it frees up, the problem is not in the brake caliper.
If the brakes still drag , check the rotors for "belling" and make sure the caliper bracket has been mounted correctly and are not bent .
Severely tapered pads indicate either a missaligned caliper , or belled rotor.
Check what you have thoroughly before spending $ thousands on something that is easily repaired.
