Default brake problem

hi everyone i got bit of problems with my brakes. since i had new pads and discs on the front of my 2004 blobeye wrx i have had trouble ,first i had alot of pad smell at first everytime i was doing say over 40 50 and would get very hot and smelly on the motorway i know you get brake smell when running in but this was for over 500 mile. but also i would get a vibrating feel in the peddal when stopping at motorway speeds and humming type noise . now i got feeling this is something to do with the driver side set. as i noticed he smell was coming strong from that side and was getting hotter then the otherside. i was going to buy a calliper but now i thinking it could most likely be the disc ? is this right?

by the way we have checked the calliper to see if it was sticking and seemed ok ..the brakes feel faded already

Sounds to me like you have sticking calipers , the smell will be the pads overheating as they are not releasing off the discs.
If you continue driving it like this it can warp your discs.

We can offer you either new pistons and seals or fully reconditioned calipers , we are only in Bridgend , if you want call in and we can have a look for you
Cheers Ian

Hi

They are £235 a pair on an exchange basis , you can have them any colour you want , and we fit stainless steel pistons and new seals , so the pistons will never rust again
