I replaced the rear pads,rotors and park brake shoes on my 2016 today. Now It is making a rubbing noise. I'm assuming that this is just because it' all new and will go away one I break them in. Am I wrong? Should I be worried?

If the parking brake is properly adjusted and none of the pads are dragging with no pedal applied, then I'd strongly recommend you go bed in the pads and season the rotors.

You can google a How To on the process.

I just installed Power Stop pads and rotors this weekend, it was fine when I first drove it and after I did the break in procedure. But this morning when I drove it it sounds like something is grinding from the rear, I'm guessing it's the parking brakes since my old rear rotors where a ***** to get off. I'll drive it a couple more days before I take it to my local mechanic.
