So I realized I needed anew caliper bracket for the passenger rear wheel and that sticking is fixed. Now, my car feels like it is slowing down quickly when in gear or rolling, and doesn't roll very easily. It feels like the car is extremely sluggish. Before I changed these brakes the car would feel like it wanted to jump when I hit the gas hard and now it takes a couple seconds to get going good. It takes more gas to keep at a constant speed, more gas to get up small hills, etc.
Are the 13.8 rotors thicker than the 11.8 inch? Maybe that is the problem.
If the small nub wasn't exactly lined up with the groove in the piston, would this sort of problem be happening?
Or is this a result of having the hawk 5.0 pads on the front and back and it will take a while for them to not be so sticky?
My car feels like it is running extremely shitty, and I brought it to the beach 3 hours away because I thought the caliper bracket solved the problem. I smell no more brake-burning smell.
Also going through the gears at normal speeds, and fast speeds, shifting is extremely weird and erratic because the car is slowing down slightly.....
Any advice, pointers, etc is appreciated. I am feeling like poop and sorta down about my car driving the way it is, not having access to tools, being so frickin far from home... I'm tempted to bring it to a shop here and have them check it.
