I have a WRX03 with 2000 miles on the clock.
Driving down the A10 I let her out a bit, about three or four hard braking sessions, me & a motorbike.
Got to the great Cambridge round-about stopped at the lights & what did I see coming from the front brakes but loads of black/grey smoke.
Is this normal?

All responses appreciated

On normal brakes, yes very normal. Did you sit with your foot on the pedal?

Yeah normal brakes, but I was braking hard from about 130.
I can feel a brake kit upgrade coming on.

Thanks for the reply...
