Default Rear brakes dragging...parking brake adjustment??

I put on new rotors on all 4 corners and now the rears seem to be dragging a little. I didn't replace the pads because they were fine and I was trying to get done in time for the PA ITR meet...which I didn't anyway. Anyway will this go away after a few drices or is it maybe a parking brake adjustment? I did have to take the calipers off to paint them black instead of the red the previous owner did (ERIC ). So I did have to disconnect the parking brake cables. Any insight?

Yes, you should adjust the parking brake. The previous adjustment was probably done when the old rotors were less than original thickness....requiring a tighter setting. It's an easy job, right under the center armrest console.

it's a 12mm and you have to take off your armrest to get to the nut...
