tech help please!!!

kay, here's the situation. i got my koni yellows and dropped my car about another inch (2 cenimeters from tucking rim in the back). now when i drive, it smells like something is burning in the back. when i go to the back, its all hot and i can't even touch my rear rims because its too hot. does anyone know what this could be? i raised my car back up an inch to where it was before my struts were put in cuz i dont want anything ruined. i was thinking my brakes may be fucked up or something cuz it smells like when u drive with the parking break on. and i dont think its my camber cuz i already have a kit in there. please help me!!!!

ya, thats what it smells like, but wouldnt i hear it rubbing and see scrapes on my tire, and why are my rims hot? im thinking it may be the e-brake. could it be possible that it is on when im driving and i need to adjust it or something?

you're rubbing. either roll the fenders or raise the back so it doesnt tuck.
