Exclamation 1998 Volvo S70 Rear brake caliper dragging

Hi, I have 1998 Volvo S70. It has 149,765 mi and it runs great! I have done some nice aftermarket work to it. Dropped it with some Koni FSD shocks w/ IPD springs, Goodyear Eagle GT's,slotted and cross drilled rotors w/EBC redstuff ceramic pads, strut bar, and much more. She is my baby!! But heres the problem. My rear brake calipers are dragging and causing the rotors to warp slightly. With such a big investment I dont want them to turn to ****. Do i get some new stock calipers or even second hand or should I get aftermarket and if so any reccomendation. BTW my front calipers work great its just the rear and I dont know if its because the stock calipers cant handle the slotted rotors. Help MEEE!

I'm trying to gauge interest in parting my '98 S70 GLT w/117k miles. Calipers function properly with like new pads. Let me know if I can help! See my thread "Parting '98 S70 GLT"
