#19932, "Smoking brakes"


          

So my brakes went and decided to upgrade to the raceconcepts slotted and dimpled rotors...great deal. Upon removing my pads i realized that only the drivers side pads needed replacing and they were completely gone whereas the passenger side was pretty much intact. I had been noticing that the drivers side wheel area had been getting incredibly hot...very unusually hot. So hot that the high temp black pain that i used on the calipers flaked right off. Well today i replaced the pads and put on the new rotors and after the first test drive the drivers side brakes were smoking. I mean fuming smoke from the wheel well. What could cause this? Any ideas?
