Default Sparks from high speed Braking

Has this happened to anyone else. I have only recently had this problem. Should i change my pads. Under normal driving pads are fine

sounds like metalic pads or you may have a rock stuck in between the caliper or the pads. Take them out and inspect them.

You can have them inspected if you want..but I'm willing to bet it's just normal metal brake pads.

I see this with some race cars....
just means your going really fast!

What kind of pads are you using?
street pads should not be sparking
