Help needed! What I have NOT done so far 700 1989

Brakes:
Brakes are still slightly dragging. I can spin the wheels and they won't turn more than one revolution. A BMW 325 E30 spins like 5 revs+, same with a Taurus 93. This could be an issue at higher speed as well as at lower speeds (higher losses in torque converter @low rpms). There must be some air in the system which prevents that the calipers retract. I bleeded the hell out of it but found the threat where the MC could be an issue (was dragging exactly the same way before I replaced the MC, but this could be b/c it was leaking internally)
Disks don't have the rusty ring on the outside btw. This prevents free spinning as well as I have discovered.

Catalytic converter:
I haven't pulled it. It could be partly clogged. However, I unscrewed the test-plug in front of the cat and the airflow/area was similar to the exhaust pipe.
Not like mentioned in an earlier threat, but I do not know for sure.
