Message I had a stuck piston in the Front Left caliper so I decided to rebuild both front calipers and install stainless steel brake lines on the front. I did not touch the rear brakes except to bleed them. Got everything back together, bled the system, and now both front calipers appear to be sticking/dragging a bit. On a slight hill the car will not roll backwards and after a short drive the front brakes were smoking hot.

The caliper pistons move in and out freely, I can compress them with my hands and less than 20psi of air is sufficient to pop them back out.

What else can cause the brakes to stick? Is there something I missed?
