ok so i put new pads and rotors on the rear and it still sounds like the brakes are dragging, what else should i check?

i guess at this point its either the brake lines or the calipers, but i just really dont feel like spending money on those untill i exhaust all my options..

i already tried adjusting the e-brake too, and it also doesnt do it when i brake, and sometimes it doesnt do it at all.. i guess this points even further to it being the brake line.. arghh.

did you put all the shims back with the new pads? And are the pads loose in the sliders or are they snug? sounds like you've got something stuck in them or its just the pads moving in the sliders. (most likely just the pads moving if it stops when you brake.) just nip up the sliders slightly until they grip the pad in position but not too much that it cant slide freely. i.e. take out the movement sideways but still allow the movement in and out.
