Reply With QuoteDidn't you just hve your brakes replaced within the last 72 hours UK?? Perhaps it's just the new coating burning off. Gawd I hope so, for your sake mate. ButTJC is right. Have Mitsu check them for warping just to be safe, mate.

God i knew it was a bad idea to have standard mits front discs put on the car.(after i warped the first set)
Had to brake real hard today when some nugget pulled out in front of me, The smell from my pads and discs was horrible, plus when i got home only 1/4 mile from where it happened i noticed smoke rising from the discs/pads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had to drive the car round the block to cool them down!
think i might go back to mits and see if they can do anything.

Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.
Yes the smell and smoke would be from the new pads its happened to me a couple of times

yep the brakes where replaced on friday just gone, been out for a drive this morning and all seems ok, so maybe it was because they are so new....but i'll give mits a ring on monday and see what they say.
I'm guessing it was just because they were new
same and you get the smell with a new exhaust
It takes a while for them to in-bed it etc
