Probably an obvious problem, but I can't figure it out.
I just swapped out my front brake pads (Duralast Gold 929). It was a bit more difficult than I remember to install than the last set to be. The pads seemed to be pretty tight to the rotors when I installed them. Almost seemed like the they were too thick, but a called the auto parts store to double check that I got the correct ones.
After some ado I got everything buttoned up and drove down the street to check it out. It feels like the brakes are constantly being applied (50% ish). There was no pull one way or another but the driver side was smoking a bit when I returned.
Also, the peddle seems really squishy. When I slam on the brakes and the car doesn't stop as fast as it should.
So what say ye? What's my issue?
