So last night i was driving to a friend house and my car started feeling like something was holding it back. After about a mile feeling like that i pulled over and there was white smoke coming from my front brakes like ive been riding them hard, Well i have no idea whats wrong with it.I tryed to bleed them but didnt have right tools, I also took off the suction part of the brake cylinder hose off and it started feeling better. have not used my brakes on the way home but i made it.
so in short brake is closing enough to stop me and hold me on a hill, after a few mins it started to open and i could drive it back home?

Time for Front Brake overhaul. Even though only one side is hanging up overhaul both sides. Also when you check the rotors if you find that you need new ones also buy both sides to keep things working even.
Is now the time to go for the brake upgrade? Thants between you and your bank account:)
