Brake:
You would be shocked at how often I find:
* Rear caliper inboard pistons fail to return = drag.
* Brake hose internal damage.
* Brake pads seized in the caliper frame = drag or no response.
* Marginal or bad wheel bearing, (mostly front).
* Wrong size tires, (cheap under size).
* Bad wheel alignment.

Brake:
