I refreshed my brakes today by flushing fluid, replacing pads, rotors and all of the little hardware bits and pieces. I went with Hawk HT-10 pads, ATE Superblue fluid and, super cheap auto zone rotors.
By the time I finished the job it was dark out but, I wanted to take test drive anyway. As I was going through the bed in procedure I noticed sparks pouring from the wheels. Not just a couple of sparks but a wall of sparks. It scared me at first but I crossed my fingers and completed the bed in procedure. When I got home I looked it up and it turns out that this is totally normal. However, that doesn't mean it's not freaking awesome.
While this sparking issue is really cool and totally normal, should I be concerned about driving with these pads on the street? I'm worried about starting a fire or getting pulled over.
Thanks!
