new brakes smoking

[redspire]

Hello all, i just put new pads and rotors on yesterday and on my way to work today i had a bit of smoke coming off the tires, i want to know if this is normal and if no what do i need to do? I drive about 3 miles city and it takes roughly 15 minutes. Any input is appreciated!

Smoke off the tires or smoke off the calipers.
Were the wheels hot to the touch?

usually they smoke a little bit and smell like they are burning.that just how new pads are.but they shouldn't be smoking a lot and continuos.feel the wheels when done driving c if any are hotter thsn the others if so u probably have sticking caliper.

The wheels were warm but not hot. I burnt my finger on the rotor a bit though lol

that's too hot, unless you were driving agressive

Caliper stuck? Jack the car up and see if the wheel spins some what

I'll take it for a drive here in a bit and post details, what are some things i should be looking for in a stuck caliper? Sounds, pulling, etc? Thanks for all the help guys!

The slider tubes get rusted into the caliper,they are supposed to float. If they are frozen or even "tight" it will cause the pad to constantly rub the rotor.
