[QUOTE="pbeechner, post: 13276172, member: 125500"] I'm also not sure though, since the first time I drove it up and down the road after changing the caliper, rotor, and pads, I had smoke at the end of 1.8 miles. The next morning, I drove it the same distance to the end of the road, and each side was exactly the same temperature (+/- 5*), but once the car warmed up, by about 8 miles, I had smoke again and very hot rotor, caliper, wheel, etc. Then it was consistent having to stop every 2 miles or so on the way back and let things cool down a little. So I'm not so sure that too thick brake pads would cause that kind of problem. Also while it was cold the next day, I was tightening lug nuts with the hand brake off, and could roll the car freely from that wheel, whereas I could not the day before. If it was just that the pads were too thick, I would be getting overheating rotor/caliper/pads from the get-go and not after a certain amount of time (i.e. car warming up) Sorry about the wall of text....
