i was out last night with a few friend ( some wicked cars which inc, r34 gtr v-spec, 2x r33 gtr, rx7, itr dc2, escort rst, r5 gtt, 2x valvers and me in hybrid) all doing abit of hardcore driving :wink: was told by a few that while braking from high speed my brakes were sparking like mad and looked like i had a set of sparklers behind my wheels :shock: was also told it was shooting massive flames from exh :twisted: brakes were awesome all night and held up very well with no signs of fade what so ever and they did get a beating. im running wilwood dynalites with wilwood fast road pads and 285mm discs. should the brakes spark under these conditions?
