Okay so i got new rear brake pads, rotors, calipers, bias plug installed. They bleed out just fine. Rear brakes still stick and drag very very very badly...Any ideas on what is going on and where the problem may be??

Thanks!

E-Brake cables sticking? Did you check if its releasing?

One of my cars had a sticking pad on one side that was down to nothing when I got it.

Either the rubber hose has collapsed internally or the retainer that holds the rubber hose from flopping around is rusted on the inside of the loop and is choking the rubber hose (more common in the Gen1s).
Your foot can force a lot of pressure through the obstacle (the hose). It has to return back to the reservoir (eventually) and it does not have that same "foot" advantage.
Your rims will get quite hot due to this drag.
