Repost: Problem?

Yo, I've replaced my brakes today (all four wheels, brake pads, rotors and hardware), but for some reason I can hear very slight rubbing when I pull in my condominium garage (you can't hear outside when you stand by the car). My friends tell it will go away after I drive a little bit. Can you guys tell me if they are right?

Did you regrease the sliding pins? It might just be one of your calipers slightly sticking

The 2 things on the caliper that you screw the bot into...they have a rubber accordian style boot. Usually when you do a brake job, you pull those out, clean the old grease and put fresh grease on it so that your caliper slides freely with no restrition when you take your foot off the pedal after braking. Old grease will sometimes hold the caliper, not releasing fully and your pads will rub sometimes

I don't know I greased it up but not too much, plus what about torqueing those bolts down (would that change anything?).
