Alternative to Wilwood BP-20 pads

[SkinnyVT]

I run the H compound in the front and HP+'s in the rear, the balance of the car was very neutral under braking. This is with all the tar out of the trunk so the car had a 3.5% front weight bias.

r u running an m20?....if you are, you are overthinking the rears IMO. Use HT 10 up frt....and any hi po rears....HP plus...Mintex (1144) I think..... carbo tech...etc.....

Ya I have an m20. My current pads are BP-20's up front, and Hps rear. I am looking for a setup with much more bite. Pretty much in the same situation as the OP. I would like to stay with Wilwood pads for the front kit..

Lee, what Wilwood compound would be equivalent to the HT10's? For example having HT10's in the rear and H compounds in the front?

I was looking on wilwoods site at the temperature curves and torque values, what about the J compound? it looks pretty good and WAY better than bp-20 curves.

Actually, I dont think the J compound is available for this caliper..

Wilwood pads are made by Raybestos. But Raybestos' compounds are not necessarely the same formulation as Wilwood's. Kuzimmer, I believe, tried ST-41s as they were supposedly the same as Wilwood's H compound. Which he was proven (the hard way) it was not.

Lee who makes the wilwood compounds, I heard a rumor it was raybestos? The reason I ask is that I've tried ST-41's and all they did was fall apart quickly & destroy rotors.

Street price is lower...

Wilwood does produce the H pad which is even grippier.

Hmm not bad! They're about $10-20 more than the DTC-60's though. I want to buy TWO sets so I don't want to hurt the wallet too much.

I already ordered 4 blank corrado rotors PLUS another set of rear pads. Shit is getting pricey lol. I'll see if a friend of mine can pick up the pads for less.

Haha...so I called Race Shopper and the guy is completely adamant that Hawk DOES NOT produce a 12mm DTC-60 pad.

Porterfield it is then...

they stock dynapro's just not the correct width for the massive kit, there's a 16mm pad and a 12mm pad in the dynapro shape; lee's kit uses the 12mm pad and when I called race shopper all they said that they could get was the 16mm which would be nice to use (more pad material for basically same $$$) but they won't fit in the narrow body dynapro caliper that lee uses.
I'd imagine the issue was do to the dynapro being the newer caliper (dynalite has been around forever) that and when I called this particular time I got someone I never spoke with before (didn't remember a name, but I almost always got edwin in the past and he's been great to deal with everytime). Hopefully they resolved the issue but this is what I ran into a month or so ago when I was shopping for pads...

Greg, I'll him a call tomorrow with a part number and see what he say's. I'd love to use a 16mm pad too :(

That's wierd. I've ordered street and track pads from them for superlite and dynalite. Strange they wouldn't have dynapro pads.

Thanks guys! I'll give raceshopper a shot since they are so close. I will call them though rather than place the order online.

be careful with the wilwood pads you order from race shopper; ...if you're looking for OE fitments don't hesitate to call them I'd just be leary of using them for a racing caliper shape)
