Is their a choice of different types of pads for willwood disk brakes and where do the majority of people get them? Summit...?

 

My experience with Wilwood brake pads has been terrible for any kind of street use. They are very noisy. I would only use them for track use, they are embarassing at street temps and have a very bad low speed moan. I have tried T,Q and, E compounds and all are noisy.

I have gone to EBC Greens for my Wilwood calipers for street and light track use. They are working decent so far and it has been about 4-5 months now. Autoxed it once hard and still no pad buildup usually associated with EBC greens when they overheat so my rotor temps are in a good range for using them.

As a side note- I had nothing but problems running EBC green pads on my 10.5" system because they just got to hot and left excessive pad buildup in no time. This gives the brakes a warped feeling.

 

I have Wilwood Q pads on my c4hd front setup and they have been fine on the street. No noise that I noticed. They definately stop better with a little heat in them, though.

Anyone know a good low temp pad? I drive like an old lady most of the time and my brakes never get that hot.

 

dean, where do you get your pads? Nobody local to me has them for wilwood stuff

 

Kyle, These guys were quick on shipping. I notice right now though they are currently out of stock on my fronts
