front pads for wilwood 4 pots?

[nightSpirit]

At the end of my track season (Oct) I will need to replace my pagid pads on the track car. Does anyone know what size/model I need for the wilwood calipers? I run yellow stuffs on the rear of the car but would like something top spec on the fronts like pagid or endless. Price not an issue.

 

[Dan@SJM]

What wilwoods are you running?

Ring Rally Design. You'll have a model no stamped on your caliper. I run Mintex 1155's and there spot on

Theyre the 4 pots, think kit from ktec? Fits to stock discs...

 

[v16daf]

Prob the midilight caliper then. Rally design have a good website to order from

Mintex 1155 or Ferodo DS2500 would do the job.

 

[v16daf]

Mintex 1155's > DS2500 personally

I run compbrake 4 pots (same pad size as willwood midlites) and am currently running Ferodo DS3000 pads. fantastic stopping power, only trouble with them is the about of brake dust.

Get a part number off existing pads to cross reference it if you're unsure

I ordered these for the ones KTEC sell, however I have not fitted them yet so hope they are the right ones. Was told they are. http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m49b132s4052p53513

^ I ordered the 3000's of the above. They will fit, but you have to cut down the backing plate in the centre for the securing pin to slide through. Took less than 2 minutes with a grinder.

ahh ok, nothings ever simple with pads on these cars...it was the same with the 2500s in the oem callipers.

DS2500 seem to be supplied in a much thinner thickness compared to others. Sam and myself have used these on the willwoods and demolished a set within one track day at Donington.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

You can slightly modify them to fit as Dan has said if the proper pads are out of stock. Both similar price

I can also supply any Ferodo Racing pads and will price match anyone for future reference

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Do Performance Friction or Carbon Lorraine make anything for these?

 

[nightSpirit]

They're the KTec ones (the braided lines are KTec anyway)...will get something suitably sexy ordered up when the season ends in November

How did you cut the backs of the backing plates out? did you cut grooves in the plates?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Just cut around the pad to make the 2 mounting holes the only raised point on the pad.

 

[sonny172cup]

Cheers mate, I ended up cutting slots for the pins.
