135i Rear Brake Questions

I just replaced the rear brakes: Rotors were Stoptech slotted, pads were Cool Carbons. A few questions - mainly because I can hear some dragging.

1) Do you need to reuse the OEM shims? I'm thinking I'm too thick with the following between the caliper:
OEM Shim | anti-squeal | pad (with metal backing) | rotor | pad (with metal backing) | anti-squeal | OEM Shim
I must say I coated the entire back of the pad with anti-squeal.

2) Do you need to adjust the parking brake when changing rotors?

Thanks!

Oh, FYI, on the 2010 MY the sensor part number changed in 3/10. Mine is a 9/09 build, so I got the wrong sensor from ECS and my local dealership.
