Just put mine on as well as some z1 extended stud spacers 20mm

I am hearing the rear brakes rub on the disk and the car does not move as freely as before. Something is dragging...Im thinking the ebrake shoes

Any tips or help on how to fix this?

I wouldn't drive like that. Go adjust the boot adjustment thing. It's on the top of the drum, you can access it through the hole in the rotor, and flip it up

Not driving it at all. I have adjusted the boot thing about 5 times already. I have tried just about every click setting and it still makes noise. Seems to only be the drivers side

you can hear it with the rear jacked up and spinning the wheel by hand...something is dragging

something else I found interesting. adjusting the star all the way up or all the way down and it will stop the wheel from moving completely.

hard to tell by hand. but in reverse when I pull out of my garage I normally roll right out and now it wont move without giving it a little gas. its a very minor sound/resistance

adjusted it again and went for a trip around my hood and I dont feel any rolling resistance backing out, but the noise is still there. Just sounds like a pad touching the disk. You can only hear it with windows down at speeds below 10mph

Im hoping its not the shoes rubbing a hole through the hat from the inside out
