So have you checked to see if the calipers are hanging up rear shoes too tight?Also did you have your rotors and drums refinshed?

You should have had the rear drums refinshed if you replaced the rear shoes.I would try adjusting the rear shoes untill you have had the rear drums refinshed.That way you know there there not out of round and have a nice finsh on them.
