Smoking Brakes
Need some insight, less than a hundred miles on car/svo rear disc/gm calipers w/granada rotors/front.temp around 78 deg, dual master cylinder with balance bar( as suplied by shell valley. Heres the problem,cruising at around 50 when I noticed the stink, pulled over and smoke was coming from the rear wheels, I don't remmember the fronts smoking( but later I sniffed the fronts and they had that burnt brake smell, the brake pedal was hard no movement, i let it cool for 10 min, and stabbed at the pedal a few times and it seemed to return to normal. I'm using DOT3 fluid, and it was hot under the hood, I limped back home safely.Prior to noticing the problem I hadn't used the brakes for 10 minutes, also the car just slowed down by itself. it seemed to be laboring. It's evening and cooler now and it's working normal, ANY IDEAS?, BOILED FLUID, SLEAZY PARTS ????????tHANKS
