Alternative to Wilwood BP-20 pads

[Massive Lee]

^^^^Yes.

Also, I would still keep my bp-20s for street driving, but will the rotors be okay to be swapping back and forth H compounds then bp-20s before and after track days?

I need to take some pictures of my rotors and pads after the weekend at watkins.

I don't know if I would be switching...the BP-20's have made nice grooves in the slotted rotors or vice versa. Not sure which one of the two is the culprit but you can definitely feel them. I don't think it would be the same case with regular blanks.

the BP-20's have made nice grooves in the slotted rotors or vice versa.

That would be quite unusual from BP20s. They are known to work at very low temps, even in the winter season. Could it be that the pads were worn to the backing plates, and that the gouging was caused by the steel backing plates on the rotors?

Gouging of rotors by pads is usually caused by a hard compound not softening enough from a lack of heat.

So, I have finally received my brake pads and long and behold there is a REAL p/n for these.

I bought Hawk HT-10's for the Dynapro Caliper.

A quick google search brings up:

[Massive Lee]

You'll be happy with HT10s. And they can even be daily driven if you don't mind dust.

It's busy season at work and its kind of an "all hands on deck" deal from now till December.

HT10 pads require a manly bed-in procedure. Meaning they will shudder during your first track session. Don't worry. Brake hard and lay an even transfer layer. Also, you may drive a whole year on the street, they still won't be bedded in until you track them...

Good to know, I might squeeze in one more track event before the season is up :)
