Brembos in, rear brake(s) rumble???

Well I finally threw my drilled Brembos in along with brand new PBR pads. All new for all wheels. Fronts went in great. Rear not as good. Now I have this horrible metallic dragging sound coming from my rear wheels when I brake at low speeds. Not in reverse, not on the freeway. Do I need to go back and re-grease the caliper pins again? Anyone have any tips or experiences? Any info appreciated

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna re-grease my caliper pins just to be safe. Happyricefob I probably have seen you around also. Are you gonna be at the Norcal meet coming up in November? We gonna tear it up on Highway 9 out in Saratoga.
