My sparking brakes! Pics and video clip...

[MarkCup]

I like, I like :approve:

Once they get hot what comes off the disc is impressive and totally appropriate at this time of year...

Warm...

Warmer...

Bingo!

Really bad short video clip of them in action here...CLICK

Is that a good sign Mark?

Your bodywork must be battered.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Almost like your own mini fireworks

I always thought sparking was a bad thing?

 

[TeZ]

wouldnt it be better for them if you just shoved a Metal file in them to stop lol.

what the f*%k is all that about and why is it doing it? do all cars do this?

 

[Christopher]

carbon pads?!

i hope so! lol

 

[MarkCup]

Imagine a grinding wheel on steel. This is the same. It's because the pads are ultra aggressive and they're grinding layers off the disc.

As above, very harsh for your paintwork though - not that I'm all that bothered...mine's not been cleaned for 2 months now LOL

When I was out doing that I couldn't resist making sure every time I had to brake, I'd do it HARD, and alongside some unsuspecting driver :evil:

I love the pic of that Trophy wheel doing it....

Do they actually work any better though? How long will the pads/discs last?
