rear brakes draging

[THE Shobra]

Help Both of my rear brakes were draging today on the freeway. I just replaced both calipers and rotors (it burned off my nice poweder coat and messed up the Ni plated rotors not warped hopefully) last year I replaced the porpotioning valve and the left rear hose and a e-brake cable can't remember which one.
1. What else could it be???
2. The e-brake cable was extremly stiff after they were draging but is fine now. which cable would pull on both brakes front rear either rear?

Also could this be caused by improper bleeding?
I bleed them from right rear left rear right front left front which I now know is not correct but they are NOT soft or spongy.

I'm thinking e-brake or porpotioning valve would putting plugs in solve this? what size and where would I get them ect...?? LOts of thought here PLEASE help me sort them out.

definitly work out the ebrake thing. Next i would replace the lines

ok it was the left rear e-cable that is new and it was BOTH brakes sooo. I'm thinking that portioning valve is the culprit. The assemble that is tied to the arm for suspention is all loose, I don't see how it could push on the pins going into the proportioning valve.....
I think elimiating it (installing plugs) is the solution is it?

I've had this problem before that's why almost most everything is new already.

After extensive reading, and searching I'm ordering a full set of brake lines and wondering how to adjust to linkage to the biasing valve?

No, replace the rubber lines. The proportioning valve rarly goes, and in my case new lines solved my problem.

Yep ordered a new set of brake lines. I ordered Earls SS lines from jegs to replace the rubber lines, one of which is only a year old!

It's not the e-brake I disconnected them and it still drags.

I jacked the car up and the rear wheels turned free just the extremely slight rubing against the rotor (I could spin it and it kept spinning) then I got in stepped on the brakes and released them. Went to spin the wheel and it drags. Lowered the car jacked it back up and they still drag. All of which was done with the engine off. I let you know after I replace the lines.

Untill then if anyone else has an idea for both rear brakes draging let me know.
