I got my power pipe on my SC today and I went for a ride. after about a half of mile I noticed that my hood wasn't closed good so I pulled over and my son jumped out and closed the hood. Well I burnt a little rubber pulling out and everything seemed great . Then about 1/4 of mile down the road it felt like my car lost alot of power I was giving it the gas and it was trying to bog down. I pull over the car is idling fine and revs fine. Then I notice that the drivers side brake is smoking a little then I noticed the passenger side was too but not ass bad but still doing it. These calipers have less than about 6000 miles them? I was about half a mile from home so i would drive a little while, then wait alittle while until I made it home. I get back jacked up the car. It takes all I have to get the driver side tire to turn and the other side is almost as bad. Well I let them cool down and they started turning like normal and so far so good I upgraded to the cobra brakes but its been months ago and everything was new and I just can't figure out why both calipers would just lock up all at once also the brake pedal was real stiff. Any ideas would be appreciated.
