Ive been test driving the car locally for the past few days. So far so good except:

2 issues: first day out had a strong brake smell from the front discs. I remember installing these i had to sand the pads down a little because they were very tight. I guess i didnt sand enough? No brake smell today after a second road test.

Second, i noticed at around 25-35mph my speedo is reading around 60-70. I upgraded from 3.50 gears from 2.75. My speedo gear is green. Which one do i need for a good reading?

26 inch tall tires with a C-6 you need a 19 tooth gear, usually it will be pink, but there are some white gears as well
