Default last night when i was doing fats times my brakes were shooting sparks slowing down

they shouldnt have been too hot really... only drove like 30 mins with no real hard stopping, but there were a LOT of sparks shooting out when slowing down from 90 to about 45. i looked at the rotors and they looked fine after the ride, and theres tons of pad left. i have hawk hp plus track pads... is this normal and i just never noticed it?

Default I have seen it before but at much higher speeds than this. It did not seem to be a problem for the..

individual I was with that encountered this, But then again that dosnt mean something wasnt wrong.
