Okay, I just did my rear brakes, got a couple of questions...

I don't know if any of you remember my other thread about noisy brakes but I found out that my fronts were fine but my rear (especially the driver's side) were down to the wear indicators, that's what was making the noise. So I got Raybestos pads and rotors. I just finished my rear brakes and took the Cobra out for a test drive. After I got back, I smelled something. I looked down at my driver rear and the burning smell was coming from there, as well as the new rotors showing burn marks on them. Is this a normal new-brake happening or did I just fuck up my brakes.

Just one side burning or both? Here's a good read on "bedding" new brakes. http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/bedinfaq.htm

You're welcome.

Keep an eye on the pads and see if your one brake continues to wear faster. If it does, you may need to R+R that caliper.
