where do you guys get your brake pads for the 4 piston calipers?

 

If you are looking for a race compound, then the Hawk Blue is the most cost effective pad/compound. The part number is HB100.

Funny, I was at the track this weekend and hit the backing plates. I came on here looking for Andie's info and was going to ask the same question.

Check your mail........

 

looking for a street/autocross compound. I'm running EBC Reds right now on the street and they squeal like crazy.

 

I'm sure porterfield r4s have pads for the wilwood dynalite. They work really well for street autox and light track.

 

We don't sell the Porterfield line of brake pads, but will agree that the R4S will make a very good street/auto-x pad. See if Hawk HP Plus is available as well...though it tends to be noisy and dusty. The R4S dusts pretty heavily too, but it's a trade-off for performance.

I bought some Axxis Ultimate from Andie basically for a street / auto-x pad, but i used them at TGP this weekend for a track event. They worked awesome. Brakes never faded, steering wheel never shook... to those pads.

This was a 2 day event with 3 sessions each day....they did awesome...no squeal either.

Trey rode in my car...he can testify for how hard i was on the brakes.

RATEDR:

You purchased the AXXIS ULTIMATE...and NOT the Metal Master. Both are made by the same company, but are completely different products. IMO, the MM is slightly better than an OEM pad...while the ULTIMATE is far superior to any OEM compound. The ULTIMATE is fade-free to 1000F, and has a Cf of approximately 0.45mu, while an OEM compound is good to only 650F, and has a Cf of 0.32-0.35.

I recommend the Axxis Ultimate for aggressive street driving and auto-x, with some light track duty on certain vehicles (in general, vehicles under 3000lb).

HTH... -Andie

 

MM sucks... Melted them at Summit, first ever track event...

 

i've got a new set of Hawk Blues for the dynalites if anyone needs some. Never used, in box. I'll give the 1/2 used set I have as well to whoever buys them.

Ah, I see...thanks for clearing that up. The pads did hold up great.

 

RatedR drove the **** outta that car!!! Pads held up great

 

Yes, the Axxis Ultimate compound is very good, even on the track. Compared to our Panther Plus and especially Panther XP full race compound, the Axxis Ultimate would be considered a light track duty compound. However, it makes an excellent street, auto-x, drag, and light duty track compound...the streetability of this pad is unmatched: low dust, low (if any) noise, very rotor friendly, excellent wear rate, excellent cold stopping power, excellent modulation and release, etc.

The Hawk Blue is a very affordable track/race-only compound available for the Wilwood Dynalite fitment. It is very good for enduro racing, but should never be driven cold and/or on the street, as it is very rotor aggressive. The Hawk Blue is on the Panther Plus category in terms of performance, with the Panther Plus being infinitely more streetable.

With Best Regards... -Andie

how do i order Axxis Ultimate compound brake pads for wilwood kit on a civic/integra?

 

Be careful when buying Hawk/Cobalt/Ferrodo pads for the Dynalite caliper. They all use a non-Wilwood spec backing plate that will stick out of the top of the caliper much further than a factory Wilwood pad does. If you have tight radial clearence from the caliper to wheel, chances are an "aftermarket" aftermarket pad will not clear. Kinda detracts from the Dynalite philosophy of lots of power in a small package...

I'm very disappointed that I haven't been able to use my Cobalt GT-Sports because of the poorly engineered backing plate, which is also happens to be an insanely hard steel that eats grinder wheels quickly. Still trying to get them to fit behind my 16" TE37s after 2 months...

Wilwood pads are made by Raybestos, and they do perform quite well. I've run through a set of D's and I really liked them on the track, aside from the dust. I should have went with the new E's or C's instead of the Cobalts if I knew about this problem before hand. I use T's on the street.

I can sell you the wilwood pads. What compound do you want? i.e. Q, T, E, etc... For a streetable compound you are looking about $50-$60.
