    Thanks man! The throttle cable mod should have nothing to do with your brakes in any way. Maybe you had one seized that unseized? or had rust on the rotors that made the pads grab extra hard?

    One side of my bumper is higher than the other

    you should be able to adjust the bumper height with the bolts on the bumper mounts. They have slots in them so you can move the bumper up and down on each side by about 2 inches or so.
