if thats not doing anything for you pull your rear cup holder and see if the T-bracket is straight, if one side is shorter then the other then you have a seized rear caliper on that side.

You have to pull out your center console or armrest. There are two cables, one for each rear wheel, with nuts at the end to tighten each you need to tighten both equally.

^ mines doing the EXACT same thing dude!
when i let the brake down there is still tension on one of the brakes.
i press the brake peddel down before leaving and you can hear a click and the car rolls freely. im guessing im having the beginning symptoms of a stuck caliper.
did the tightening of the ebrake and within days it was loose again. when i go up to smg next time im going to have fred look at it.

its not actually the caliper that's seizing its the ebrake part of it that is seizing, if you go and look at the calipers you'll see the lever part that shows the position of the ebrake, if you manually release them and not engage your ebrake the brakes work fine.
i had to do this temporarly until i was able to get a new caliper for mine. i also recommend both calipers be changed if one is doing, the other will shortly follow
