Do you think he needs to make a better pad selection?

 

lol what an idiot. My first thought would be finding something to put the fire out. Not getting my camera out.

 

Wait, what's the story on this?

That's crazy.

 

I'm not sure Mike, I was hoping some one here may know more about the who/where/why on this. The uploader made these comments:

"i have made 5 times braking from 120-0 km/h.

My config at picture is - DBA4000 discs + Hawk HPS pads - on front and rear"

and

")))))) its so suddenly happened ))))

I've just finished all tests of my new DBA 4000 slotted and HAWK HPS brake pads...... They smoked too much )))) (of course all preprocedures for 500 km have been done)

At the end of that exam )) I stopped on the street to have a rest. And have seen what you see....... take my phone .... make some pictures ..... jumped in and went to cool my brakes ......"

and

"as i have written below - after this fire - hole brake system was checked.

Repair kit for brake pistons have been needed. All other components did not get any harm."



The thing that gets me, is why the brakes are on fire after just five stops from 75mph (120km/h)

 

WOW! I would have at least empty my water bottle out on it. Everyone has something at least in there car.

Same here. There's no way those would catch on fire just doing those. Maybe the caliper was seized the entire time?

video, but

 

I think water would actually cause a number of problems. I don't think that would be better than just driving it and cooling it off.
