this is what happens when you have a 3 channel rear and the abs sensor is dirty and you're too lazy to clean it and the abs inop light periodically comes on, and you're hauling *** (120-130mph) and try to somewhat quickly slow down when the light is on and you're not on the best road.

tires are nitto nt 555 street tires, had about 1/8 inch left, maybe less, before wear indicators. The car never pulled and the tire never made noise, just the littlest squeek when I first touched the brakes, my friend and I started smelling rubber and he looked in the mirror and said let off the brake, I looked up into the rear view and saw a trail of smoke, let off anf felt the flat spot. Yes those are the STEEL threads showing on the sides, drove car home about 3 miles, parked it, got in the truck and looked at the skid, 500feet long, give or take 20 feet. I have thought that the dumbass that I bought the car from put different pads on the front between the sides, now I am convinced.

nope it never made any noise except for the littlest chirp right when I touched the brakes, and it was the passenger front, sorry I forgot to say that, but I am frimly convinced now that the idiot that I bought the car from has different pads on the front between the drivers and passangers side.
