Hope this doesnt make me sound like an idiot but the low rider scene is not really that huge here in New Zealand (especially in my little town), but does anyone have any reccomendations on what metal would be best to put on the bottom of my car to make big sparks when it hits the ground? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated.

steel, iron brass, zinc. what ever you want.

I made some drag blocks for my car out of some metal off a semi truck suspesion. heavy duty gauge steel. When I wear out I'll just put some new ones on. I've seen some made out of I-beams too.

i know for a fact zinc throws good spark and some colorfull spark too, but its a soft type alloy so it wars fast.

every once and awhile you can find Titanium blocks for sale on ebay, I've picked two sets for 85.00 a set.
