i have a sr20. i just changed my rear rotors and pads.. however now when i am driving my car it feels like it is brake boosting when i am not even on the brake i could be doing 35 and it feels like i am brake boosting the whole way and i am not even on the brake.. how do i fix this problem?
just feels like when i try to accel i do not go anywhere.. you can feeel the lag... of it trying to move..
could the brake master cylinder be going out? or since my pads are new do i need to loosen the hand brake line?

Do you smell brake when driving ? Sounds like something is rubbing in the new change up.

yes and it smells awful..
Have you tried to look and see if your calipers have siezed up? The car is rather old now and if your still rocking factory calipers it maybe time to get rebuilt ones or do a brake upgrade.

Sounds like the Ebrake is too tight for the new thickness of the calipers, id start there
