Ok I just got BRAND NEW rotors and pads 3 days ago.

And Today I noticed, My Tires started to smell!! like burning rubber! wtf? What can cause this? I was only driving like 40 mph.
Underinflated tires? It does kinda look underinflated in the front.

And something wierd happened and its scaring the crap out of me. I turned off my car engines then I heard this noise like under the car or something. Its like when I stand up to get off the seat, I hear a noise as if the car was gonna literally drop. I think it was PROBABLY coming from the brakes in front.

And another thing, when the engine is still on, like every 1-2 minutes, u can feel heat on ur leg if u stand on the driver's side door. What the hell is that? Wheres that heat coming from? Is it normal?

so many questions:

you got new pads and they will produce more heat for a few weeks till they break in. they will warm up your tires too, so there's the smell

and for the heat around your feet it comes because the fans start and blow heat from the engine bay
