Why would they smoke? Did you give the brakes a very heavy workout? If so, this is not good bedding in procedure.
If you didn't give them a heavy workout and they were smoking, I'd be thinking something is jamming the pads against the disc, possibly a seized piston.......whatever the cause, something's not right and needs to be checked out.

Got a Mechanic to check it out, All fine, Normal for this pads to smoke when first wearing in due to the composite. Even wearing over the disc's.

Ive done over 1500kms since Ive put this pads in on friday and all good apart from my stupid mistake with the fluid DOH!
