2001 LS rear brake trouble

[NAV421]

Hey, new guy here. Just wanted to say this is a great site.

I just installed new rear rotors and pads on my 2001 ls and now the car drives like the brakes are stuck on. I turned the caliper pistons in with the "special" tool and replaced the pads. Does anybody know if there is something I forgot to do? I though maybe the calipers were sticking but it seems odd for both of them to go bad at once. If anybody has any information to help I would be very thankfull.

kinda sounds normal.

The LS wears it's rear brakes out quicker as the traction control is constantly using them.

You may have to make sure the slot on the piston is lined up correcty. I did that mistake on my Mustang. I have not done my LS yet though.

I found the problem, the caliper slide was froze up and forced the inside pad against the rotor.
