Hey Todd,

Hope all is well over there...

Not sure which type of pad is best for my application.

Can you recommend a particular one?

This is for a street car, with a Procharger....so I do step on it often, and do need to bring it down quickly from high speeds...But no racing. I'm thinking BP -10?

Thanks...

Aloha

I'm not Todd, but I can tell you what my personal experience has been...

I've tried carbon fiber, ceramic, and OEM pads before, but I now use Metal Masters and will use them from now on.

For the Wilwood kits either 10s or 20s will work. The 20s take more heat to come into their own. 10s are a bit more forgiving at the lower speeds and also dust less. If you really wanted to crank it up the metallic D compound is great...but it comes at the price of a noisy pad. Great for AutoX however.
