Default Need help!!!

I just finished changing me brake pads, but when I got in my car and started i noticed that it did not start rolling down the slight hill that i had it parked on(M6). I tyook it for a drive around my block and it felt as though the brakes were on the whole time. What could this be or is this normal for brand new brakes ?

Disk brake pads slightly ride the disk at all times. However, if you feel that your brakes are on all of the time, it is possible that you do not have the pad properly seated in the caliper. I would pull them off and start over and make sure that the pads seat properly in the caliper.
