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 drivingwas 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
was also told it was shooting massive flames from exh
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?
