Default Burning smell since strut bar installation?

I know, it sounds weird. But ever since I installed my strut bars, and I mean, the day I did, I've smelled a strong burning smell. Almost as if I'm riding my brakes hard.. But I'm not. I don't know how bars could cause this. I have the four peice. Two under. One under the hood. One in the trunk.

Any ideas? Or am I just crazy?

most likely coincidence, the bars have nothing to due with moving or wear parts. just check around for the cause of the smell.
