There’s a catch, you can’t just say a certain brand/model, because they have to be Wilwood pads. No one makes a pad yet for my calipers other then Wilwood.
I have a Wilwood Dynapro front brake “kit” on my car. 11.75" SRF rotors, SRF ones are drilled and slotted. Quad 1.75" Pistons (largest in this caliper type).
My rear brakes which isn’t what this is about but in case someone wondered - are Dodge Daytona IROC brakes I swapped on, with 11.2" SP Performance Drilled/slotted rotors, and for the track day i’m going to swap in HKS HP+ pads in place of my HPS’s I have in there now.
Car weighs ~3100 with me in it. Makes ~215 hp as it sits at the wheels.
Currently I am running their Q pads. As you can see from the below graph link they have bad higher temperature handling/aggressiveness. I’m going to be attending the track days this summer hosted thru here, and I also Auto-X. With the track days not only am I concerned that I’d kill the pads just from use but also that they don’t have anywhere near what I need for heat handling. I’d like a pad that I could also use with good luck in auto-x where constant braking is needed but temperatures don’t get THAT high.
Noise and dust aren’t a concern really as these are race day pads for me.
The pads that I can get for my caliper out of the ones listed below are:
A, B, E, Q, BP-10, and BP-20.
Here is a description of each of their pads:

And a temperature comparison graph of their CF / torque vs temperature.

The A pads are definetly too aggressive for me. I “think” B probobly is too. That leaves E, Q, BP-10, and BP-20. I have the Q’s already. Right now I’m leaning towards the BP-10 Pads. Their still a “streetable” pad - but they’re more aggressive initially which I like (the ones I have now are i think not enough) but their response curve is flat. Flat is predictable, something as a noob to track days I like the idea of. And their temperature handling goes far beyond the Q pads I have now. The E pad is also very close in spec, and really the description for either pad sounds very similar. i’m trying to get a hold of someone at Wilwood that can tell me the differences between BP-10 and E.The BP-10 is $15 cheaper and instock a summit, but E is not.
Just was looking for some feedback, thanks in advance.
