Re-bedding in track pads

Spark city

I was shooting huge spark clouds out tonigh, it was hillarious. Bystanders were confused, one woman tried to tell me that my brakes were on fire

Ultimates sound nice.

Do they spray spark clouds too?

Dude, besides the inner pad rattling around because there is no clip, these are just about perfect.

Who gives a crap about some sqeals or sparks when you are pressed into the belts every time you use the breaks?

I have to say, I love my RGRs. That first picture just looks like my wheel but dull. The diamond black finish masks brake dust...It just looks like I've got permanent brake dust, but when the wheels are actually clean it looks like I've got SHINY brake dust.
