    Wilwood Track Pads

    Hello All,
    I am looking for brake pads capable of handling track abuse for the Wilwood 4 piston dynapro (front & rear) calipers. What is everyone else using? Previously I was a fan of Carbotech XP10/8 (front & rear) in my s2000 and rx7.

    Think I've finally found Wilwood's brake pad selector. They don't show as much data for the race pads as I would have expected. Any personal experiences with these pads on track? Which compound and what were your thoughts?

    For a good combination street/race pad I like the polymatrix E pad. For racing we use ether BP30 or BP40's, usually 40"s on heavy braking tracks.

    I like the Polymatrix E pad on the track. It's a bit noisy, especially when hot. Makes a lot of dust. But has predictable bite from warm to smoking hot.

    On the street I like the BP-20. Quiet, predictable, works well at very cold temps, and makes very little dust. A big improvement over the provided BP-10's.

    I ran Ferodo DS11's, progressive bite, easy on the rotors and never had a fad issue and in the 3 seasons of track duty I only used 25% of the pads with the AP caliper and rotor set up..
