I just had Eibach lowering springs installed at a shop a week ago. Today when I went to the car wash I noticed there was steam coming from both front rotors whenever I sprayed them with water. The rear rotors were fine, no steaming. I had only driven about 3 miles from my house to the car wash place, so this seems a bit unusual. This has never happened before. Is there a chance the shop that did the springs install messed up something during the install? :confused:

Jack up the front and put the car in neutral... see if the front wheels rotate relatively freely. There'll be a little brake drag, but you should be able to turn the wheels by hand pretty easily.
