did you re adjust your rear brake shoes after u put new ones on because they will adjust them selfs nad move so your best bet is to take off your rear hubs again and adjust ur rear break shoes and then put the cover bak on (just resting on) and spin if u hear a slight scraping noise that means that the pads r just touching ur rear drums which is gd, but if ur worried just ease them off abit more then put the rear hub bak on then tighten up the castle nut with a torx bar so u dnt tighten them to tight or leave them to loose (keep the handbrake down while doing this) once u have done this test ur handbrake it shuld ba lot tight and shuld only move up a few clicks and there for ur brakes shuld b fine and balnced but if handbrake keeps moving up higher than usual (maybe like it did before checking ur rear brakes) u just simply need to tighten up the handbrake cable which can b found either under ur car or under the carpet by ur hadn brake in the car. if ur worried bout ur car moving while the handbrake is off just leave it in gear, and also dnt press the foot brake at any stage because there is no need to. after ur done take it for a spin (not to fast) and just check ur brakes the cshuld feel alot better.
