Subject: Re: Which Wilwood pad compound is best for me? by BillH on 2008/6/14 15:37:57 Street Friendly is always a tough compromise. The "Q's" look like they fall off at 550, the BP10's don't. It looks like they have slightly more initial bite but probably not enough to increase front lockup. The pads on the bottom chart look like they could mess with your bias. And I wouldn't be supprised if they aren't as rotor friendly or street friendly. I've raced some production cars where we played with the bias by using different compounds front and rear but the agressive pads were always on the rear. Some guys change from HPS to HP plus and don't like them on the street, noiser, more rotor wear,need slightly higher temps. But they're about as far as you can go and maintain "street friendly". HP plus would probably give you a little more rear bias. I'm pretty sure you already have the bias spring in. Are you bleeding the calipers before the events? What fluid? |
