The temperature ranges and friction numbers come from the manufactures of the pads.
We can not be certain the information is accurate, this is for reference only.

Pads Temp. Range Friction Coefficient Notes  
Wilwood  
BP-10 100-1000 .42-.46 Flat torque curve, wide temperature range. Quieter than the Q pad.  
Q 100-800 .38-.47 Good street pad. Low dust and noise  
E 0-1000 .4-.48 More aggressive street pad or light track. Harder on rotors than "Q"  
H (ST43) 100-1300 .54-.66 Race/track only. Very flat torque curve, high friction.  
A (ST41) 200-1300 .55-.7 Race/track only. Higher max bite, not as flat of a torque curve as "H".  
Hawk
HPS Great street pad. Better than stock.  
HP Plus Performance pad, light track use  
DTC-30 100-1200 .5 Great AutoX, track day, non-corrosive, very strong bite, noisy on the street.

DTC-70 400-1600 .6 Track only, like DTC-60 with more bite.

Custom Big Brake Kit

This is a fully customizable Wilwood Brake kit with all the options to suit your needs.

Whether you are looking for the perfect street performer, show looks, autocross performance or full speed hard track racing, we can build it for you.

Larger diameter rotors. These intelligently sized rotors offer more braking power, yet are small enough to fit under many 16" wheels including stock.

Less unsprung weight. Stock calipers are over 20 lbs for the pair. The Dynalite calipers are only 2.5 lbs each. Stock rotors are 14 lbs each and the rotors for this kit range from 9.6 lbs down to a scant 5.9 lbs. Not only are the rotors unsprung weight, but they are rotational mass which robs your car of acceleration. Nothing is more fun than acceleration!

 

Rotor Choices

Model: UL
Straight Vane - 8.9 Lbs.
This is a good all around rotor.
Virtually all the same attributes of the SRP above but without the drill/slotted surface. This rotor would also be good for track days. If you are going to be spending a fair amount of time on the race track, the HD or GT rotor below would perform better.

Basic brake package includes these rotors.


 

Model: SRP
Drilled - Slotted - Straight Vane - 8.8 Lbs.
This is a good, performance street, show and autocross rotor.
Reasonably lightweight for quick acceleration.
It is not a good idea to use drilled rotors for heavy track racing.

Add $100 to the kit.

 

Model: HD
Directional Vane - 9.5 Lbs.
This is a stout stable rotor suitable for heavy track use as well as street use.
The Directional vanes draw cooler air from the center and help cool the rotor and caliper.

Add $120 to the kit.


 

Model: GT
Directional Vane - Slotted - 9.6 Lbs.
For Extreme racing conditions. Unlike race pads, it will work great on the street, but is is heavier than you need for spirited street driving or autocross.

Add $130 to the kit.
 

Model: ULD-32
Straight Vane - Radically Drilled for weight reduction - 8 Lbs.
This is a good show, street or drag racing rotor when every ounce counts or even autocross
(Solo2 not Solo1 or TimeTrials)   Not recommended for track use.

Add $50 to the kit.
 

Model: ULS-32
Straight Vane - Scalloped shape really cuts the weight - ONLY 5.9 Lbs.
When you really want to shed the weight and this is rotation mass we are cutting here.
I do not have a lot if info on how well pads hold up to this design. The brake rotors on my mountain bike are shaped like this, but it does not see the heat or force that your car will.

Add $100 to the kit.
