Front or rear? Do they just rub, or are they slowing down the car with out you hitting the pedal?

Did you bed them in? Did you change the fluid? Did you push the caliper pistons all the way back in?

Yea, you got to bed new pads in. What you do is, do a several hard stops from 60+. You want to get the pads nice & hot, then drive around to cool them off.

If the car will roll under it's own weight, the brakes are not dragging.
