Default Just did the rear brakes...
Alright, I just changed out both rear discs and pads on my 1995 Integra. My questions are:

1) My brakes seem a little tight right now, I'm assuming this is just until they're a little more broke in? (just went for a drive, only about a mile or two...)

2) The brakes got a little hot on the drive, and started to stink a little. Anything to worry about?

TIA

Well, you're not missing much...it's not a pleasant smell. Thanks for the info though. Anyone else got anything?

The feeling is normal; the smell is not.

I guess other than making sure you installed them properly, make sure you grease the back of the pads, bleed the brakes, and use good brake fluid.

I was going to do some brake work tonight but have too much work to do. Maybe Thursday....

Oh yeah, I take it you decided not to get the wheel locks, since I never rec'd a check from you.....

Well, the smell is no longer there, I'm gonna keep an eye on it though. I didn't get the locks b/c money got tight REAL quick...also one of the reason's I'm selling my car.
