sticky brakes

[turbosv]

Car is Z3M Roadster 1999
Recently had MOT at a Quick fit and was found to need rear pads. I allowed them to change it and now the offside rear brake sticks. On the journey home it got so hot there was smoke, I pulled over let it cool down, took it back, they took the calipher off cleaned and checked put it back together and now it still sticks but not as bad (can hear a rumble from nearside rear). When they replaced both rear pads the nearside one had a wear sensor but the new pad didnt have a connector. The piston moves freely with the pads out. Could the pads (quick fit trade) be catching somwhere when the brakes applied and then not returning.
Any thoughts?
I KNOW I SHOULDNT HAVE ALLOWED QUICFIT TO REPLACE THE PADS.

Hardly a shock, surprised they didn't tell you you need shocks all round and a new exhaust.

Sounds to me like either the pads they have fitted are ste, or the tyre fitter who fitted them is a pratt, or both. I would take is somewhere decent and get them to fit some genuine pads. Then return the kwik fit ones to them, say via their office window?
