deffinitly not normal. did you change the proportioning valve? drum prop valves have residual pressure valves built into them. still doesnt explain the rear though. did you do anything to the rear? shoes ect? those have an adjustment, should drag an *** hair thats all.

For starters, be sure the MC push rod is adjusted correctly, and that the pedal is FULLY returning all the way out when at rest.
