Are the pads shot? Are the rotors shot? Coming to a stop, it smells like Expo. Smoke comes through the sides of the hood. I popped the hood and nothing else is burning No oil leaks or anything like that. Any ideas?

 

were j00 coming to a full stop from 100+?

seriously though, are the pads new?

 

pads aren't dat new yoshi....about 5K old wifff beaver run usage. Pads are Axxis Ultimate from Andie!

 

ok, wat does the smoke look like? cuz when u break in new rotors, it'll burn off that coating they put on at the factory to keep it from rustin and it'll give off a white really faint smoke that will go away pretty soon.

 

Those pads are plenty broken in after a weekend at Beaver Run. Without taking a look at them, I'm thinking this smoke will go away with some normal colder temp usage. Must be some pad material adhered onto the rotor causing the smoke and the smell.

 

Are ya sure you did not brake a CV boot and spray oil/ grease on the brakes?

Or maybe you just think your on a track again

 

All the time does this happen? Or just sometimes. If its all the time and you can smell it coming to a stop, you possibly have a piston thats not releasing all the time.

 

took a look at it today with D...the back plate had partially melted and there was some shiot from the pads all over the place. Drove home and no problems yet
