So I was out running some errands today and it seems that almost instantly, I have no stopping power. I manage to get the car stopped on a side street and get out to find smoke coming from the pads on both sides of the car in the front. I did replace the front pads/rotors maybe 3-4 months ago using Brembo OE replacement rotors and Satisfied brake pads. When I looked closer, the rotors were VERY discolored from the heat, that lovely bluish/orange color that hot metal turns. I really have no clue what happened, I was driving normally in the 35-55mph range, no hard stops. Brakes have been great up until this point. I'll have some pictures up probably tomorrow cause it's almost dark now. Any ideas what could have happened?
Thanks in advance
