Sounds like your floating pins are stuck, common problem on GS and IS lexus. When you removed the calipers to install the pads did the bottom pin slide freely?

2 options:

1: You can buy a new rear rebuilt calipers with carriers

2: You can remove the whole caliper assembly from the car and using a torch heat the pin until you are able to knock it loose with a hammer. Then you can lightly sand the pin and add grease to it.
