So a few weekends ago my brother and I did the 95+ dual piston brake/knuckle swap to my 93. Everything went smoothly (we as smoothly as these things can go), and I successfully have the dual piston calipers with the 96 lines, rotors, bearings etc. After I got everything back in place and bled, I took it for a test drive. Everything is excellent, but I felt as I had lost a little bit of my steering radius. There is a left turn on the way from my house (actually it's basicallya U turn) that I always made with ease, that now is really close, with the wheel turned all the way. I also kind of feel like I get less rotation of the wheels both ways. The next day I took it in and had it aligned. No problems there, but it still feels the same, like I lost some rotation. Any thoughts?
There was another thing too, the brakes are stinky. I don't know if it's the EBC's, or the new rotors, but something stinks. I've checked under, there's no grease, or brake fluid, or leaks or rubbing or anything. Just kind of strange.
Any input is always appreciated.
