Default wilwood big brake compatible pads

i was wondering what companies make compatible pads for the wilwood big brake kit?

i hate the polymatrix with a passion.... so damn loud, its embarrasing stopping next to someone at a light.

anyways, does anyone know what companies / what pads are available for our calipers? thanks.


btw i searched - hawk supposedly makes hb101 but couldnt find em.

thanks!

they make a street compound. they don't squeak at all i have them on my wilwoods now. i had another compound that came with mine and they where horribly noisy. maybe for your next set.

hawk makes pads that fit the wilwood? let me know how they are, i will have to look into those. i thought u could only buy wilwood pads. Do you know if you can get any other disks, other than the wilwood?

I also have the Wilwood dynalite kit.. I had Hawk Blue in the past , now switched to Wilwood SmartPads for daily use because the Blues eat the rotor faster than your moter eating gas..I also ordered the new Hawk DTC30 pads for my trackdays.. (those pads are now promoted by Hawk as a replacement for Hawk Blue pad)

Another option is Ferodo DS3000 (serial frp502) , the best pads ever, here in Greece we buy these pads for 120$ but they are metalic just like Blues, so if you daily drive your car dont buy these.

Note that the metalic pads like Blue and DS3000 are eating the rotors and wear faster when they are above min. working temprature (like when daily driving and dont push them hard).
But If you own a racecar go for them and dont be afraid about wearing fast.

My 0.2cents.

this is good to know. before i didnt even know any one made pads for wilwood.
How about discs? I want discs that arent cross drilled but vented and slotted. I asked the retailer if they make them for my set up and they said no. only blanks or cross drilled.
