[QUOTE="caisaacson, post: 809483, member: 13515"] I received my r1 concepts brake pads and rotors today so naturally I decided to skip work and install them. 3 hours later, the passenger side is perfect but something is not right in the drivers side. As soon as I got back from the test drive I could smell unmistakeable smell of brakes coming from the drivers side wheel well. In addition to the smell, the rotor got so hot that it blued itself. Ok so what could I have missed? I broke the drivers side down and checked everything. Pads had an ode pattern on them and the rotor was hot and dis colored but I found no obvious cause. Fast forward, I put everything back together, test drove it again, but same results. Who in this wide world of raptor owners can shed some light on this? Side note: I put a thermal cam on both rotors following the second test drive. Drivers side was 200 degrees or more and passenger was 130-140. What temps are brakes rated for?
