Did you/they use OEM parts, IOW are the endlinks the same L/R?
What are the alignment specs before/after?
Could they reach all settings easy?
You did check tire pressure with cold tires.. right? (best = in the morning)
Even being parked in the sun could give you "false" readings.
Did you/they put the wheels back on the same side they came off - the tire profile might be rotating the wrong way?

About the brakes: if you haven't used them for a while the rotors should stay cold.
Last weekend - Saturday night - I actually tested this: after driving on the highway for about 20 minutes I coasted to a stop.
(decel by engine braking / downshifting, no other traffic, etc)
All rotors were cold = my brakes don't drag at all.
The tires were warmer than the rotors!

Both times I checked tire pressure was when the car has been sitting for a while, drove maybe 2 min to gas station to check. I've always checked my tires this way, and it's never given me any problems. I really doubt it's the tires.

I replaced the right side lower control arm and endlink. The control arm was used off an ap2, but they are the same part number. The endlink is an oem replacement, though not oem. I'll do the highway test to see if I have a dragging pad. However it doesn't make any sound when I'm driving, so I'm thinking more along the lines of something else in my suspension is bent or broken.

Thanks for the responses, I'll update when I can.
