Default What brake pad goes well with Wilwood BP-10 (Smart-Pad)?

Hello all,

I'm about to install my Wilwood Big Brake Kit at the front and wondering what would be the best choice of brake pads for the rear.

The rear calipers are going to stay stock but I will upgrade to AEM/Powerslot big rotors.

Are AEM pads or EBC Greenstuff a good choice? Does anyone have experience? Does anyone know the friction level of the AEM pads?

Here is a graph of the BP-10 pads that are going in the front:


Thanks a lot!

That cof friction would be fine for street, but kinda low for track imo. Temp range seems nice for street too. I like to see under .50 for the street, and .50+ for the track.

Your fronts do about 80% of the braking, so the rear pads aren't going to matter all thatttttt much especially for just a street application.

How much are those BP-10 pads? For the street that'd be fine, as chrisw85 said, but on track you'd overheat them quickly, and their cf isn't really high enough. Keep the rears 100% stock, you barely need a better pad for track use, so stock everything will work fine for the street (that's stock pads and rotors).
